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
