Import Tips
• Include veterinary certificates proving equine origin and disease-free status for agricultural entry
• Measure thickness accurately; hides over 1mm may trigger different duty rates within subheadings
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'dry blue' which shifts classification entirely
