Import Tips
• Document drying process to distinguish from tanned; moisture content tests prevent misclassification
• Secure export permits from origin country; pitfall is failing foot-and-mouth disease certifications
• Label clearly as 'raw preserved hide' to avoid customs disputes on preparation level
