Import Tips
• Verify the hide is truly untanned and not pretanned to avoid reclassification under 4101-4103
• Provide CITES documentation if from endangered deer species to comply with wildlife import regulations
• Declare preservation method (fresh) accurately, as salted or limed hides remain in this subheading
