This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not certified purebred
Non-purebred buffalo females for breeding fall under other buffalo category without purebred specification.

If imported in a breeding set with males
Mixed-sex purebred breeding groups of other bovines may shift to this broader category.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain USDA-approved veterinary health certificate confirming purebred status and disease-free condition prior to shipment
• Provide pedigree registration papers from recognized buffalo breed associations to verify purebred breeding intent
• Avoid misclassification as meat animals by clearly documenting breeding end-use; common pitfall is missing import permits for live bovines
