“In today’s era of international shopping, many countries with high-quality leather sources will export a lot of raw leather, raw leather, and finished leather to China. Therefore, it is important to contact and learn about the local customs import information or suggestions. This will make the transaction smoother.”

To ensure compliance and standardization when importing salted wet cowhide/leather, the following points should be noted this tips:

Do not declare salted wet cowhide from high-end origins such as Europe, America, and Australia as cowhide from lower-end origins like South Africa.

Do not declare Wet salted steer bellies,Wet salted neck skin, or Split leather.

Do not declare high-grade raw cowhide as general grade, or declare high-grade raw cowhide as “third-grade” cowhide.

Prices vary based on the processing level, classification, grade, origin, and specifications of raw cowhide, blue wet cowhide, and cow leather.

In international trade, raw cowhide is commonly priced in “USD/piece”. Since customs require the legal unit of measurement for cowhide to be pieces, and the first declared unit of measurement is kilograms, the rationality of the number of pieces, weight, and average price level is very important.

If raw cowhide does not declare breed, single piece weight, whether there is a hump, whether it is fleshed and trimmed; blue wet cowhide does not declare whether it is split, nor does it declare average weight and piece width.

Cow leather only declares non-whole pieces, does not declare whether it is half a piece or trimmed cowhide, nor does it declare thickness and piece width, and certainly does not declare the price per square foot according to the actual transaction situation, it can easily lead to declaration risks.

China imports various types of cowhide, including dry-salted, wet-salted, and fresh-salted cowhide, primarily from countries such as the United States, Canada, Mongolia, Australia, and New Zealand.
