The Leather and Hide Council of America (LHCA) has encouraged member companies to work closely with customers in China to make sure Chinese tanners can secure tariff exemptions on their purchases of US hides.

LHCA has said that the authorities in China are accepting tariff exemption requests on nearly 700 products that importers there bring in from the US, including cattle hides weighing more than 16 kilos. It said the majority of US hide exports fall into this category.
