Import Tips
• Verify the leather is from bovine or equine animals and further prepared after tanning, with documentation proving no hair on and not fancy finish
• Include certificates of origin and tanning process details to avoid misclassification as raw or crust leather under 4101-4103
• Label products clearly as 'bag, case, strap, or collar' leather to match the subheading; watch for common pitfalls like insufficient splitting documentation
