Import Tips
• Document equine species origin to differentiate from bovine and avoid misclassification
• Measure and certify surface area precisely; exceeding 28 sq ft reclassifies the entire shipment
• Check for fat-liquoring or retanning details in processing records to confirm 'further prepared' status
