Import Tips
• For embossed patterns mimicking exotic skins, provide affidavits confirming genuine leather (not actual reptile) to avoid CITES permits
• Ensure no internal fur linings, as Chapter 42 excludes fur-attached apparel to 4303/4304
• Appraisals must reflect transaction value; luxury branding justifies over-$20 classification
