Import Tips
• Verify weight exceeds 16 kg per hide and confirm salting method via lab tests for preservation status
• Obtain veterinary certificates proving no tanning or further preparation; common pitfall is misclassifying limed hides
• Check country-specific restrictions on bovine hides due to BSE risks; provide origin certificates
