Split hides, even if dehaired, move to Chapter 41 heading 4103 for further prepared raw forms
If undergone reversible pre-tanning like pickling finalized

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify weight exceeds 16 kg per hide and confirm salting method via lab tests for preservation status
• Obtain veterinary certificates proving no tanning or further preparation; common pitfall is misclassifying limed hides
• Check country-specific restrictions on bovine hides due to BSE risks; provide origin certificates
