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
