Import Tips

• Obtain CITES export/import permits as lynx is Appendix II species; verify with USFWS for endangered species compliance

• Provide tannery certificates proving raw state, not dressed beyond furriers' use to avoid reclassification to 4302

• Declare exact species and origin accurately; common pitfall is undervaluation leading to audits
