Import Tips
• 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
