Import Tips

Document liming process details and ensure no tanning agents used; hybrid equine status may need DNA verification

Comply with animal welfare import regs; label clearly as 'raw, preserved equine hide'

Avoid pitfall of declaring as bovine—equine-specific subheading prevents duty errors
