Import Tips
• Verify weight per skin does not exceed limits (8kg dried, 10kg dry-salted, 16kg fresh) to avoid reclassification to 4101.20.40
• Obtain veterinary certificates confirming fresh or preserved state without tanning processes
• Ensure proper cold chain logistics for fresh hides to prevent spoilage during import
