Import Tips
• Obtain veterinary certificates confirming bovine (buffalo) origin and no hair on, essential for customs clearance
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as 'fancy' if surface-finished; document plain preparation
• Check for parchment-dressing which keeps it in this heading but requires proof of process
