Import Tips

• Verify weight per skin does not exceed limits (8kg dry, 10kg dry-salted, 16kg fresh/preserved) to avoid reclassification to 4101.20.40

• Provide CITES documentation if from protected bovine species; declare preservation method accurately

• Avoid any tanning or further preparation, as that shifts to Chapter 41 headings 4104-4107
