Import Tips
• Verify tanning process documentation to confirm it's further prepared beyond crusting, not reversible tanning under 4101-4103
• Label as 'fancy' with evidence of decorative finishes like embossing to justify 4112.00.60.00 over other subheadings
• Ensure no wool residue; test for compliance to avoid chapter 43 exclusion
