Import Tips
• Include species certification (buffalo as bovine per notes) and processing logs to distinguish from equine or other leathers
• Ensure no fat-liquoring beyond crust stage if claiming further prepared status to avoid 4104-4106
• Label clearly as unsplit full grain; any splitting requires reclassification
