Import Tips
• Obtain tanning and hide type certificates to prove horsehide composition, avoiding reclassification to generic leather
• Document sidewall measurements in invoices to substantiate the 'fingertip-to-fingertip' requirement
• Avoid bulk packaging that could imply industrial use, potentially affecting valuation or quotas
