If undergone reversible pre-tanning like pickling beyond simple preservation
Chapter notes exclude hides with reversible tanning processes from 4101, shifting to crust leather in 4104.
If split into butts, bends, or bellies
Whole hides stay in 4101.90, but split components move to 4103 for other raw preparations.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify CITES documentation if from wild buffalo species to comply with wildlife trade regulations
• Confirm salting preservation method via lab tests, as over-processing could reclassify to tanned hides under 4104
• Declare exact buffalo species (e.g
• water vs. bison) to avoid disputes over 'bovine including buffalo' scope
