Import Tips & Compliance
ā¢ Verify skins are from non-excluded sheep/lamb breeds per chapter note 1(c); obtain veterinary certificates confirming fresh or simply preserved state
ā¢ Ensure no tanning or parchment-dressing has occurred; common pitfall is misclassifying lightly processed skins leading to audits
ā¢ Declare wool content accurately; provide origin certificates to qualify for preferential tariffs if from FTA countries
