Import Tips
• Provide veterinary certificates confirming equine origin and hair removal to comply with chapter exclusions for hairy hides
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial use; retail-oriented labeling helps prevent reclassification as Chapter 41 waste
• Test for 'parchment-dressed' if applicable, as it qualifies under the heading but requires process documentation
