Experience Summary
Matters needing attention when importing leather
1. Whether it is raw hides (unprocessed), raw hides need to provide animal inspection and quarantine certificates, certificates of origin, and health certificates
2. Leather is divided into ordinary leather and endangered leather. Endangered leather needs to provide endangered leather before it can be imported, so you need to confirm this in the early stage of import.
3. Whether the product is deep-processed cowhide, if it has been made into leather, only the packing list, invoice and contract are required
4. In the choice of transportation plan, LCL may encounter other people's goods in the same container that need to be inspected when unpacking, resulting in the situation that it cannot be unpacked for a long time to pick up the goods
