Fresh Dehaired Buffalo Hides from Mexico
Fresh dehaired buffalo hides are raw water buffalo hides with the hair removed, not pretanned or further prepared. They are classified under tariff item 4101.90.00 as 'other' raw bovine hides, as buffalo are explicitly included as bovine animals in Chapter 41 Note 1(c).

Import Tips
• Ensure the hides are not pretanned or pickled, as reversible tanning would exclude them from heading 4101
• Maintain proper cold chain documentation to prove the hides are fresh and not preserved by other means
• Check if the hides qualify for preferential duty rates under a trade agreement with the exporting country
