Import Tips
• Label tanning method (vegetable vs chrome) clearly, as it affects perceived value and duty but not primary classification
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests unfinished crust to prevent reclassification per chapter note (b)
• Conduct fiber analysis to confirm no hair on, excluding Chapter 43 coverage
