Import Tips
• 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
