Import Tips & Compliance

Verify tanning process documentation to confirm 'crust' status (retanned, colored, or fat-liquored before drying) and absence of further preparation

Obtain CITES permits if sourced from protected goat species; declare animal origin accurately to avoid misclassification

Test for reversible tanning; if present, reclassify under 4101-4103 to prevent duty disputes
