Import Tips
• Provide veterinary certificates confirming no hair on hides to comply with chapter exclusions
• Label clearly as 'grain splits' vs full substance to prevent misclassification as unsplit
• Check for fat-liquoring in crust stage; per notes, it remains crust if dried without further prep
