Import Tips

Verify feathers are cleaned, disinfected, and treated only for preservation to avoid reclassification as further worked goods

Provide certificates of origin and treatment documentation to prove compliance with CITES if from protected species

Label shipments clearly as 'feathers for stuffing' to prevent misclassification as decorative items
