Import Tips
• Include veterinary certificates confirming equine origin, as mislabeling as bovine can lead to reclassification
• Label clearly as 'grain splits' with thickness measurements to avoid confusion with full-grain under 4107.91
• Test for restricted chemicals like azo dyes; non-compliance common in accessory leather imports
