Import Tips

• Include lab analysis or supplier certification proving preservation method (wet-salted) and no parchment-dressing or tanning

• Measure and document unit surface area precisely; exceeding 2.6m² reclassifies the hide

• Check for CITES compliance if from wild buffalo sources; declare origin to avoid delays
