Import Tips
• Document animal species (buffalo as bovine) with origin certificates to distinguish from equine or other leathers
• Weigh and measure hides pre-shipment to ensure compliance with 'whole' and size limits, avoiding split leather headings
• Comply with CITES if from wild buffalo sources, though most are farmed; check endangered species declarations
