Import Tips
• Verify tanning process documentation to confirm it's irreversible, distinguishing from reversible pre-tanned hides in 4101-4103
• Ensure certificate of origin specifies sheep/lamb source without wool to avoid Chapter 43 reclassification
• Label clearly as 'not fancy' with photos/samples if disputed, as fancy leather shifts to other subheadings
