Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide dyeing and fat-liquoring certificates to confirm 'further prepared after crusting' per chapter note (b)
• Test for restricted chemicals like azo dyes; non-compliance leads to CBP holds common for upholstery imports
• Specify 'sides' in documentation if applicable; full hides might trigger different valuation scrutiny
