Import Tips
• Provide lab analysis proving lime preservation only, no tanning agents, to Customs for accurate HTS classification
• Check for restricted species under CITES; donkey hides may require export permits from origin country
• Label shipments clearly as 'raw limed equine hides' to prevent confusion with parchment-dressed products
