Chromium Sulfate Tanning Agent from Mexico

Chromium sulfate is an inorganic compound used as a primary tanning agent in the leather industry to convert raw hides into durable leather by cross-linking collagen fibers. It falls under HTS 3202.90.10.00 because it consists wholly of inorganic substances and is specifically employed for tanning processes. This synthetic salt provides chrome-tanned leather with excellent water resistance and softness.
