Import Tips
• Verify leather origin certification to confirm cowhide (not calfskin) for accurate HTS classification and avoid reclassification to 4203.29.10
• Include lab tests proving composition leather content if blended, as pure leather qualifies differently from mixtures over 50% non-leather
• Label gloves clearly as 'work gloves' to distinguish from sports mitts, preventing misclassification under Chapter 95
