Import Tips
• Provide veterinary certificates confirming equine origin and hair removal to prevent reclassification under chapter 43
• Measure and document surface area precisely; splits under specific sizes may qualify for different 'other' subheadings
• Avoid common pitfalls like incomplete tanning disclosure, which could lead to duties under raw hides (4101)
