Import Tips & Compliance

Provide proof of drying method (e.g

moisture content <15%) to distinguish from tanned products

Include origin certificates specifying buffalo type, as hair-on hides may shift to Chapter 43

Check for dehairing status; fully dehaired hides are allowed, but incompletely processed ones risk reclassification
