Import Tips & Compliance

Specify 'buffalo' as bovine subcategory in documentation; include photos or samples showing belting form to avoid general leather classification

Watch for undervaluation penalties—declare based on prepared leather value, not raw hide

Ensure split hides are noted if applicable; bulk packaging for industrial use differs from retail
