Import Tips
• Document equine origin with certificates of authenticity; ensure no reversible tanning process to avoid Chapter 41 exclusion
• Provide evidence of belting specifications like width and thickness; common pitfall is splitting declared as 'sides' incorrectly
• Comply with US leather import regulations by testing for hazardous substances; declare exact preparation processes
