Import Tips
• Provide hide origin certificates specifying buffalo (bovine) to distinguish from excluded species like Tibetan lambs
• Ensure no composition leather elements, as those are restricted to heading 4115 per tariff definitions
• Conduct splitting tests to confirm unsplit status, preventing shift to split leather subheadings
