Import Tips
• Document goatskin as 'composition leather' if processed; distinguish from synthetic substitutes to maintain Chapter 42 status
• Demonstrate sport-specific features via CAD drawings or prototypes showing lightweight touring design versus alpine ski gear
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial use, as retail sports packaging supports proper subheading classification
