Full Grain Bovine Upholstery Leather Hide from Germany
This is a full grain, unsplit leather hide derived from bovine animals, further prepared after tanning or crusting, specifically designed for upholstery applications such as furniture and vehicle seats. It falls under HTS 4107.91.50.00 because it is upholstery leather of bovine origin, without hair, not covered by heading 4114. The surface retains the natural grain for durability and aesthetic appeal in high-wear environments.

Import Tips
• Verify the leather is full grain unsplit bovine/equine via supplier certification to avoid misclassification as split or other types
• Include detailed tanning process documentation to confirm it exceeds reversible pre-tanning, distinguishing from headings 4101-4103
• Check for hair removal and parchment-dressing if applicable; common pitfall is residual hair leading to chapter 43 rejection
