Import Tips
• Specify buffalo (bovine) origin in invoices; common error is classifying as exotic under Chapter 43
• Ensure split documentation shows grain layer retention for 4107.92; flesh splits may go elsewhere
• Comply with CITES if wild buffalo, though most are farmed; attach tanning process logs
