ICHSLTA responds to new International Council of Tanners guidelines

03/05/2017
Following the publication by the International Council of Tanners of new guidelines for leather manufacturers to follow when purchasing raw material, its counterpart organisation, the International Council of Hides, Skins and Leather Traders Association (ICHSLTA), has issued a response.

In a statement, ICHSLTA president, Stephen Sothmann, said his organisation will conduct its own internal review of the new purchasing guidelines and said that companies throughout the supply chain should note that the International Council of Tanners document “does not unilaterally alter the provisions previously agreed upon” in the existing ‘International Contract No. 6 – Hides and Skins’.

“The official terms of International Contract No. 6 remain the same,” Mr Sothmann said. “As has always been the case, specific contract terms are negotiated and agreed upon by buyers and sellers individually in each transaction. We look forward to further mutual engagement with the ICT on ways the official Contract No. 6 language may be updated in the future.”
