Import Tips
• Use calibrated scales for weight verification at ≤10kg dry-salted; mismatches lead to reclassification
• Label shipments clearly as 'raw, dry-salted, not tanned' with surface area measurements on docs
• Beware of moisture content affecting weight declarations, which can trigger audits
