Import Tips
• Verify material composition to confirm leather content, as synthetic saddles may shift to Chapter 39 or 40
• Provide veterinary or equestrian use certification if requested to distinguish from toy replicas in Chapter 95
• Include detailed invoices specifying animal type (e.g
• horse) to prevent classification disputes
