Import Tips

• Verify the skin is from sheep or lambs and confirm pickling preservation via lab tests or supplier certification to avoid misclassification as tanned leather

• Ensure documentation proves no tanning, parchment-dressing, or further preparation; include CITES permits if from protected species

• Check for wool removal certification, as wool-on skins may shift to other subheadings; watch for splitting that could reclassify under split categories
