Import Tips & Compliance
• Document buffalo as bovine per chapter notes; include hide origin and tanning certificates for customs
• Specify 'for cases' in invoices to justify subheading; generic 'leather' risks broader 4107.19 classification
• Watch for hair remnants, as chapter excludes hairy hides unless specified bovine types
