Import Tips

• Verify leather content exceeds 25% by weight via lab testing to confirm classification; provide detailed fiber breakdown in documentation

• Ensure accurate labeling of man-made fibers and leather origin, complying with FTC fiber content rules and CITES if applicable for exotic leathers

• Avoid misclassification by documenting knitting process; common pitfall is undervaluing leather, leading to audits
