Import Tips
• 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
