Import Tips
• Declare exact leather origin and tanning process on entry documents to meet CBP leather marking requirements
• Ensure bags are not lined with significant fur or artificial fur exceeding trimming, avoiding reclassification to 4303/4304
• Photographic evidence of outer surface material helps prevent disputes during customs examination
