Import Tips & Compliance
• Include lab analysis for tanning agents to prove non-reversible process, avoiding reclassification to crust leather
• Document equine/bovine species origin precisely, as buffalo qualifies under bovine but may face scrutiny
• Check for hair removal certification; residual hair triggers Chapter 43 exclusion
