Import Tips
• Verify tanning process documentation to confirm wet-blue state and absence of further preparation like drying or finishing
• Ensure CITES compliance if from wild buffalo species; provide origin certificates
• Avoid misclassification by confirming no reversible tanning used, which would shift to 4101-4103
