Import Tips
• Lab test for absence of tanning agents; reversible processes disqualify from raw status per chapter note (a)
• Label clearly as 'not tanned' with processing logs to prevent confusion with crust leather
• Comply with USDA/APHIS import permits for animal hides to avoid quarantine delays
