Limed Bovine Butts from China
Limed bovine butts are raw hide sections from the rear of cattle, treated with lime to loosen hair and preserve the skin. They are not dehaired, tanned, or further processed, keeping them in a raw state. This makes them classifiable under tariff item 4101.90.00 for other raw bovine hides and skins.

Import Tips
• Confirm that the liming process is reversible and does not constitute tanning, as per Chapter 41 Note 2(A)
• Ensure the butts are not dehaired, as dehairing could affect classification
• Keep records of the liming treatment to show it is only for preservation
