Import Tips

Verify origin certificates to confirm equine or bovine source, as misclassification to Chapter 41 hides could trigger higher duties

Provide lab analysis if needed to distinguish from sorted horsehair (0501), avoiding reclassification during customs exam

Label clearly as 'waste unfit for human consumption' to comply with Chapter 1 exclusions and prevent food safety scrutiny
