Import Tips
• Ensure the mare skin is not tanned or further prepared, as reversible tanning would shift classification to headings 4104-4106
• Keep documentation of preservation method (limed/pickled) and weight per skin for CBSA verification
• Verify whether the skin has hair or wool on; if so, Chapter 43 may apply unless it is a listed animal species
