Import Tips
• Obtain CITES certification if exotic leather like crocodile is used, though cowhide typically exempt
• Label as 'genuine leather' accurately; mislabeling leads to penalties under customs valuation rules
• Separate invoice hardware parts if over 10% value to avoid Chapter 73 fittings scrutiny
