Import Tips
• Verify certificate of origin from South America to qualify for preferential tariffs; ensure documentation confirms quebracho species (Schinopsis lorentzii or balansae)
• Test tannin content (typically 60-70%) as customs may require lab analysis to distinguish from other extracts
• Avoid misdeclaration as a dye; provide end-use statement for tanning to prevent reclassification
