Import Tips
• Obtain certificates proving kid goat origin and fancy processing (e.g
• embossing) to justify 4113 classification over basic leathers
• Ensure splits are declared if applicable; unsplit fancy leather avoids lower subheadings
• Avoid bulk packaging resembling raw crust; retail-ready fancy leather must show further preparation
