Bovine Grain Split Leather Belting from Japan

This is a strip of grain split leather from bovine hides, prepared after tanning or crusting, specifically cut and finished for use as belting in machinery. It falls under HTS 4107.92.70.30 as it is other grain splits, not fancy, designated for belting purposes, without hair on. The leather is durable and flexible, ideal for power transmission in industrial applications.

Import Tips

• Verify the leather is from bovine or equine animals and confirm grain split structure via documentation to match 4107.92.70.30

• Provide tanning process certificates to prove it's further prepared after tanning or crusting, avoiding misclassification as crust leather

• Check for 'belting' end-use labeling; common pitfall is classifying as general leather strips under broader categories
