Import Tips
• Document the vegetable tanning process to distinguish from crust or reversible tanning, as per chapter note (b)
• Confirm buffalo origin via supplier certificates; mislabeling as 'bovine' without proof leads to customs holds
• Measure hides flat without stretching; exceeding 28 sq ft reclassifies, a frequent importer error
