Import Tips
• Obtain veterinary certificates confirming equine origin and no hair on to comply with chapter exclusions
• Label shipments clearly as 'full grain unsplit upper leather' to prevent reclassification as split leather
• Test for reversible tanning processes, as those revert to headings 4101-4103 per chapter notes
