Import Tips
• Obtain CITES permits for python species as they are Appendix II protected; verify exporter documentation
• Ensure skins are certified as untreated and not tanned to avoid reclassification under headings 4104-4106
• Declare exact species and preservation method (e.g
• fresh, salted) to prevent customs delays
