Bovine Full Grain Leather Belting

This is high-quality full grain, unsplit bovine leather specifically prepared for use as belting in machinery and conveyor systems. It falls under HTS 4107.91.70.30 because it is further prepared after tanning, without hair on, not fancy, and designated for belting applications. The leather's durability and strength make it ideal for industrial power transmission.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify the leather is full grain unsplit bovine without hair on via supplier certificates to match 4107.91.70.30 exactly

• Include documentation proving 'belting' end-use, such as buyer specs or machinery compatibility, to prevent reclassification

• Check for any surface treatments; fancy finishes disqualify from this subheading
