Import Tips
• Provide lab tests confirming no reversible tanning per chapter note (b) on crust definitions
• Use invoices specifying 'fancy' features like prints to avoid down-classification to plain leather
• For apparel use, note end-use but classify by material; misdeclaring as finished garments risks Chapter 61/62
