Import Tips
• Include veterinary certificates proving hides are processed without hair/wool, aligning with chapter note (c)
• Declare exact preparation stages (tanning, crusting, fancy finishing) to differentiate from reversible processes in 4101-4103
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; fancy leathers often have high fashion premiums affecting duty calculations
