Import Tips
• Include certificates of leather origin and fiber content to distinguish from synthetic substitutes during CBP review
• Avoid packaging that suggests finished goods; ship in bulk slabs to reinforce raw material status
• Watch for anti-dumping duties if sourced from specific countries known for bonded leather production
