Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify tanning process documentation to confirm it's further prepared after tanning or crusting, not reversible (which would fall under 4101-4103)
• Obtain certificates of origin and wool removal proof to ensure compliance with Chapter 41 exclusions for wool-on hides
• Label fiber content accurately; common pitfall is classifying split leather under this code without noting thickness specs
