Import Tips
• Obtain veterinary certificates confirming equine origin, as it's less common and scrutinized for disease risks
• Test for sole specs (density, thickness) to differentiate from upper leather during customs exam
• Avoid bulk packaging that mimics crust; specify 'further prepared' in invoices
