中国皮革网讯 （记者欧阳志上海报道） 中国国际皮革展，中国国际鞋类展和中国国际箱包、裘革服装及服饰展今日在上海开幕。参加展会的嘉宾如果前往美国原料皮协会(USHSLA)的展位，将可获得纸质版“北美牛皮销售标准”小册子。据了解，美国原料皮协会在2014ACLE上发布的这份标准属全球首次，该标准参考了协会会员企业以及其它组织的意见，符合全球皮革行业的基本做法。

据美国原料皮协会会长Stephen Sothmann 透露，过去一年全球皮革行业的各类会议上，关于全球皮革产业链上原料皮质量和运输及供应商履约和诚信的意见基本一致。作为全球牛皮出口的重要国家之一，美国原料皮供应商决定采取积极主动的措施应对这些问题，才有了最新版本的“北美牛皮销售标准”面世。Stephen表示，希望通过标准的推出，证实美国原料皮出口商已经敏锐地意识到客户的顾虑，并愿努力应对做出改善。

未来数日内，美国原料皮协会还将在官网上（www.ushsla.org）上更新该标准，并可供读者评论。此外，据美国原料皮协会称，该标准还将被翻译成包括中文在内的多种语言，以便于在全球主要市场被广泛阅读和了解。
