Midrash for Bekhorot 105:11

(דברים יב, ו) והבאתם שמה עולותיכם וזבחיכם ואת מעשרותיכם בשתי מעשרות הכתוב מדבר אחד מעשר בהמה ואחד מעשר דגן ממקום שאתה מעלה מעשר דגן אתה מעלה מעשר בהמה וממקום שאי אתה מעלה מעשר דגן אי אתה מעלה מעשר בהמה

For it was taught: R'Akiba says: You might think that a man may take up an animal set aside as tithe from outside Palestine and offer it?

Sifrei Devarim

"your tithes": R. Akiva says: Scripture speaks of two tithes, the grain tithe and the animal tithe.

Sifrei Devarim

R. Akiva says: I might think that one brings firstlings from outside of Eretz Yisrael to the land (to be sacrificed); it is, therefore, written (Ibid.) "And you shall eat before the L-rd your G-d, in the place that He shall choose to repose His name there the tithe of your corn … and the firstlings." From the place whence you bring the corn tithe (i.e., Eretz Yisrael) you bring firstlings. From outside Eretz Yisrael, whence you do not bring the corn tithe, you do not bring firstlings.
