Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the hide is truly 'fresh or wet-salted' with lab tests if needed; dried or limed hides shift to other subheadings

Provide slaughter certificates and salinity tests to prove preservation method and prevent reclassification as 'other preserved'

Check CITES restrictions for certain bovine breeds and ensure phytosanitary certificates from origin country
