Import Tips

• Provide lab analysis confirming particle size <0.5mm and unsuitability for leather reconstitution to prevent misclassification

• Label shipments clearly as 'non-reusable leather powder' with safety data sheets for dust handling during customs inspection

• Check destination country restrictions on leather dust imports due to potential chromium content from tanning processes
