Import Tips
• Obtain CITES permits as Kolinsky is a regulated species; verify export country quotas to avoid seizures
• Include detailed species certification and tanning process documentation to confirm classification as dressed furskin
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as assembled if paws are merely attached naturally, risking reclassification
