Import Tips
• Obtain fur processing certificates proving beaver fur compliance with USFWS import rules for non-endangered species
• Declare exact fur percentage; blends under 50% fur may shift to wool felt classifications
• Photograph goods upon import to document unblocked state, avoiding disputes over minor shaping
