Import Tips
• Include origin certificates distinguishing buffalo from other bovines to comply with hierarchy
• Test for split thickness; unsplit full-grains only qualify here—splits go to other subheadings
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as equine leather, which shares bovine chapter but needs species proof
