Import Tips

• Verify tanning process documentation to confirm it's fully prepared after crusting and not reversible, distinguishing from headings 4101-4103

• Provide certificates of origin specifying bovine source and grain split type to ensure correct classification under 4107.92.70.40

• Avoid misdeclaration as full-grain leather, which could shift to other subheadings; inspect for splits to prevent reclassification
