Heritage hides, modern standards — built for finishing lines worldwide.

Argentina’s expansive cattle industry yields naturally strong, supple bovine hides with a long craft history. Today’s export programs focus on wet blue, crust and selected finished leathers for footwear, upholstery and leather goods, supported by audited operations, consistent selection and robust documentation. We match grades and finishes to your line, then move them on reliable lanes with broker-ready packets.

Beyond leather, Argentina supplies high-value by-products—collagen and gelatin, tallow, and fine wools—feeding food, pharma and technical markets. We coordinate specs, certifications and labeling for U.S. entry, aligning APHIS, FDA/FSVP and CBP requirements as the category demands.

Hide grades & finishes

Consistent selections for finishing in Italy, Asia and the U.S., plus ready-to-use lines.

  • Wet blue: chrome-tanned bovine, selections TR1/TR2 (TR3 on request); typical substance 1.6–2.0 mm (program-dependent); average area declared.
  • Crust: neutralized/dyed crust by spec; readiness for finishing lines (footwear/upholstery).
  • Finished: corrected/full-grain, aniline/semianiline, pull-up and nubuck options.
  • Splits: split suede and technical splits by thickness and tear/abrasion targets.
  • Defect allowances: brand/vein/tick per grade; documentation of selection rules included.

By-products (food, pharma & technical)

Traceable inputs aligned to your specification and regulatory pathway.

  • Bones/meals (technical): by program and jurisdiction; documentation and admissibility reviewed case-by-case.
  • Special leathers: non-bovine species only where lawful and permitted (CITES/wildlife rules apply; subject to prior review).

Compliance & documentation

We prepare a broker-ready packet aligned to your product and HS classification.

  • APHIS/CBP: admissibility and sanitary docs for hides/skins and derived materials.
  • FDA/FSVP: for edible inputs (collagen/gelatin/tallow) where applicable.
  • Labeling & HS: country-of-origin, descriptions and HS/NCM notes agreed up front.
  • KYC & sanctions: counterparties screened; traceability statements passed through.
  • Sustainability: LWG-rated tanneries and third-party audits prioritized when available.

Packing & delivery

Lane-specific packing to protect substance and finish.

  • Hides: pallets/bales with moisture control; area/thickness declared on docs.
  • By-products: drums/IBCs/sacks by spec; COAs appended to lots.
  • Incoterms: EXW / FOB / CFR / CIF; export clearance and hand-off to your broker at U.S. port.
  • Monitoring: data-logger options and seal verification for high-value loads.
