Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the alligator leather is not from a species listed under CITES; if so, obtain the necessary permits before importation
• Ensure the leather is 'further prepared after tanning or crusting'—if it is only crust, it may still qualify, but document the finishing steps
• Check if the leather is split or unsplit, as this affects the tariff classification
