Import Tips

• Obtain CITES permits if applicable, as raccoon fur may require documentation for endangered species compliance despite common status

• Ensure dyeing process is documented to confirm classification as 'dyed' rather than natural, avoiding reclassification to undyed subheadings

• Verify skins are whole and unassembled; adding lining or sewing into panels shifts to 4303, increasing duties
