Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Obtain CITES permits for ostrich feathers if harvested from wild birds to meet US Fish and Wildlife Service requirements

β€’ Disclose full feather sourcing on commercial invoices to prevent delays from agricultural inspections

β€’ Test for electrostatic properties if claimed, as exaggerated marketing could trigger false advertising claims
