Import Tips

• Verify pigskin upper via lab testing for tannage and surface area dominance per Chapter Note 4(a); declare accurately to avoid reclassification

• Include leather country-of-origin certificates and invoices detailing pigskin content to comply with U.S. leather import rules

• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'other leather' if pigskin exceeds 50% external surface area
