Import Tips
• Include veterinary certificates confirming equine source and no hair on, per chapter exclusions for hairy skins
• Test for sole suitability (thickness >2.6mm, bend test); pitfall is customs reclassifying flexible splits as upper leather
• Declare as 'sole leather' with intended use affidavits to avoid blending with upper leather rates
