Larger grain splits exceed the size threshold and fall under 'other' grain splits.
If from equine animals

If composition leather
Chapter defines composition leather (reconstituted) strictly under 4115, not genuine further-prepared hides.

• Avoid bulk packaging that could imply industrial parts rather than whole hides
