Import Tips
• Obtain FDA-equivalent certifications for food-contact leather; declare tanning chemicals used
• Photograph pre-cut shapes and punching patterns for CBP entry to prove belting suitability
• Bundle with assembly instructions to demonstrate 'suitable for conversion' without constituting finished goods
