Limed Dehaired Bovine Hides from Germany
Limed dehaired bovine hides are full cattle hides treated with lime to preserve them and loosen hair, but not pretanned or tanned. They are classified under tariff item 4101.90.00 as 'other' raw bovine hides, since liming is a preservation method, not a tanning process, per Chapter 41 Note 2(A).

Import Tips
• Document the liming process to show it is reversible and not a tanning process, as tanning would move the product to heading 4104
• Ensure the hides are dehaired but not further processed
• Verify the country of origin for potential preferential tariff treatment
