Import Tips
• Verify tanning process documentation to confirm 'further prepared after tanning or crusting' status and avoid misclassification under raw hides (4101-4103)
• Ensure CITES compliance if hides originate from species near protected categories; provide tannery certificates
• Label fiber content accurately; common pitfall is splitting not declared, shifting to different subheading
