Import Tips

Verify preservation method is only salting or drying; any tanning moves to 4104-4106

Require veterinary certificates proving hides are from healthy animals to avoid disease import restrictions

Declare exact cut (butts) accurately; misdescription as full hides can trigger reclassification
