Import Tips
• Verify hide weight (≤8kg dried, ≤10kg dry-salted, ≤16kg fresh) and surface area ≤2.6m² via official measurement to confirm classification
• Provide veterinary certificates confirming fresh/salted state and no tanning process; declare as 'raw, not tanned' on commercial invoice
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring dehaired hides as further prepared, which shifts to other subheadings
