Import Tips & Compliance

โ€ข Confirm buffalo as bovine subclass with veterinary certificates; distinguish from equine to stay in 4107.12

โ€ข Document post-tanning processes like crusting to prove 'further prepared' status and avoid raw hide misclassification

โ€ข Check for reversible tanning; if present, it reverts to 4101-4103 per chapter notes
