Import Tips & Compliance
• Document salting as a preservation method only; any fat-liquoring or coloring indicates crust, reclassifying to 4104-4106
• Ensure CITES compliance if from wild buffalo species and include phytosanitary certificates for preservation status
• Weigh hides pre-shipment; post-drying weight loss can cause reclassification disputes at customs
