Import Tips
• Include veterinary certificates confirming buffalo origin and hair removal to meet chapter exclusions
• Document the 'further prepared' tanning process to distinguish from crust or reversible tanning (headings 4101-4103)
• Avoid bulk packaging that might imply industrial parts; label clearly as whole skins for retail sole use
