Import Tips
• Include processing records showing 'fancy' treatments like foil to justify 4107.92.80 over basic splits
• Avoid bulk packaging pitfalls; retail-ready cuts may require different valuation methods
• Test for chemical finishes; restricted substances in fancy leathers can trigger FDA or EPA holds
