Import Tips
• Verify the leather is from whole bovine hides and processed as grain splits without hair, confirmed by supplier certificates to match 'belting' specification
• Obtain CITES documentation if sourcing from endangered bovine species, though rare for standard cattle hides
• Avoid misclassification by ensuring no fancy finishes or parchment-dressing that might shift to other subheadings
