Import Tips
• Certify buffalo as bovine subclass with surface measurements to comply with precise HTS size limits
• Ensure no fat-liquoring beyond crust stage if claiming reversible process exclusion under note (a)
• Use commercial invoices specifying 'grain splits' to differentiate from other split leathers
