Thanks for your reply, had they been treated? Our one must have been as it is all made in Europe and stitched into a pad for the chaise longue, but I guess you have to prove it to AQIS. Did you have to take documents outlining what chemical or heat processes the hides had been through?
TIA
PS. Are you also from SA? I was born there, now living in London. Moving to Perth. We hope! But not without my chaise lounge!

AQIS didn't ask anything about them. I put them on the form but nothing was said. I don't have anything to say that they have been treated or otherwise. I am sure that yours will be ok, especially if part of a couch. I wouldn't have thought it was any different from something made from leather.
Not from SA but love it. Been to Cape Town on several occasions and will probably go back in February for a week or two, time permitting.
