Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify tanning process documentation to confirm wet-blue chrome tanning and wet state, avoiding reclassification to dry hides
• Ensure CITES compliance if hides originate from wild swine populations; provide export permits from source country
• Declare weight accurately as wet hides contain moisture, which affects duty calculation on net weight basis
