Import Tips
• Include lab tests confirming no hair on and post-crusting processes like fat-liquoring to meet 'further prepared' criteria
• Declare exact end-use as 'glove' on entry forms; generic leather descriptions may lead to higher 'other' duties
• Check for split thickness specs, as overly thin splits could be questioned for upholstery vs glove use
