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
