Import Tips

Verify the leather is from bovine or equine animals and free of hair; provide tanning process documentation to confirm 'further prepared after tanning or crusting' status

Label clearly as 'belting' and specify non-fancy grade; include test reports for tensile strength if required by buyer specifications

Avoid misclassification as general leather by ensuring it's cut to belting dimensions and not suitable for upholstery
