Import Tips
• Document the equine origin and confirm no hair on, full grain unsplit status to match 4107.11.70.30 criteria
• Include lab tests proving post-tanning preparation and belting end-use to prevent reclassification
• Watch for mislabeling as bovine leather, which could lead to audits; specify equine in import declarations
