Salted Bovine Hides from Japan
Salted bovine hides are fresh cattle hides preserved by salting to prevent decomposition, not tanned or further processed. They are classified under tariff item 4101.90.00 as 'other' raw bovine hides, as salting is a preservation method that does not constitute tanning per Chapter 41 Note 2(A).

Import Tips
• Ensure the hides are not pretanned or treated with any tanning agents, as that would reclassify them to heading 4104
• Provide documentation of the salting method and the absence of further preparation
• Verify the country of origin for potential duty-free entry under trade agreements
