Import Tips
• Submit veterinary certificates confirming equine species and hair removal to meet chapter 41 inclusion criteria
• Measure unit surface precisely; overages common in equine hides lead to 4104.41.50 reclassification
• Declare as 'crust' with fat-liquor details; reversible tanning processes revert to 4101-4103 headings
