Import Tips

• 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
