Import Tips
• Verify tanning process documentation to confirm it's beyond crusting and qualifies as 'fancy' per chapter notes
• Ensure certificates of origin for bovine leather to benefit from preferential duty rates under trade agreements
• Label fiber content accurately; mislabeling grain splits as full-grain can lead to reclassification and penalties
