Import Tips
• Include origin certificates specifying buffalo (bovine) hides to comply with chapter notes excluding certain hairy skins
• Document absence of fancy finishes like embossing to stay in 'other, not fancy' subheading
• Avoid bulk packaging misclassification; specify belting dimensions in invoices to prevent reclass as general splits
