Import Tips
• Verify CITES compliance if sourcing from protected equine populations to avoid wildlife trade violations
• Provide certificates of origin proving equine (not bovine) source, as per chapter definition of horsehair
• Avoid misdeclaration as animal textile material, which shifts to Section XI
