Import Tips
• Use CITES documentation if from protected breeds, though common Suffolk sheep typically do not require it
• Prevent reclassification by proving no fat-liquoring or coloring beyond basic pretanning, per crust definition
• Bulk importers should consolidate certificates of origin to streamline customs clearance
