Import Tips
• Obtain veterinary certificates proving disease-free status, as wet hides pose higher biosecurity risks
• Label clearly as 'wet-blue' with moisture content to comply with customs valuation rules
• Watch for misdeclaration as 'peccary' which is also swine but may trigger different inspections
