Import Tips
• Specify pickling solution composition in commercial invoice; ensure pH levels confirm non-tanning per CBP guidelines
• Pair with veterinary health certificates; common issue is mislabeling as 'wet blue' (chrome-tanned, heading 4104)
• Avoid bulk packing without ventilation—moisture can lead to mold claims during customs exam
