Import Tips
• Provide lab certificates confirming chrome content and wet-blue preservation to comply with chapter 41 tanning definitions
• Label clearly as 'grain split from buffalo' to distinguish from equine or full bovine under same heading
• Avoid exposure to drying agents in shipping; rehydration proof may be required if crust-like on arrival
