Import Tips
• Label fiber content accurately; leather must predominate outer surface per GRI 2(b) for composite goods
• Check for precious metal fittings; if they define essential character, shifts to Chapter 71 per chapter notes
• Bulk imports require FDA prior notice if containing animal-derived materials like leather
