Import Tips
• Verify the hide is from swine and confirm no tanning or pretanning has occurred via supplier certification
• Require documentation proving preservation method (e.g
• salting logs) to avoid misclassification
• Inspect for hair removal status as dehaired hides may affect splitting declarations
