Import Tips
• Obtain CITES permits for python species as they are Appendix II protected; verify export quotas from origin country
• Document preservation method (salted/fresh) to avoid misclassification as tanned under 4104-4106
• Inspect for dehairing or splitting which could shift to other subheadings if beyond basic preservation
