Import Tips
• Document drying process to confirm no chemical tanning occurred, preventing reclassification
• Specify buffalo origin as bovine subclass; include veterinary certificates for disease-free status
• Avoid bundling with tanned goods to prevent set classification under chapter 41 exclusions
