Chrome Tanning Drum from Japan
A chrome tanning drum is a large rotating vessel that evenly distributes chrome-based tanning chemicals on hides submerged in solution, converting raw hides into wet blue leather. It is essential for the tanning process, which is explicitly covered by this tariff item. The drum's design ensures uniform chemical penetration and temperature control during tanning.
