Import Tips
• Include lab analysis confirming no hair on surface and equine species identification for customs clearance
• Label clearly as 'lining leather' with thickness specs to distinguish from upper leather if applicable
• Avoid common pitfall of insufficient crusting proof; maintain tanning process records
