Wow, I think that was the most questions asked in one sentence EVER!
All leather has nasty stuff in it, that's called the tanning process. And its REALLY nasty, too, an EPA nightmare. That's why there are not many tanneries in the USA (Boston used to be the leather tanning capitol of the world back in the 1800's).
The only two hides sourced from China in the H&M line are Document and Cavalier. Are they any better or worse than those coming from other countries? Hard to say....I've not heard anything negative on them, but then again China is not especially known for adhering to manufacturing safety standards. But, if you want a cheaper price then thats where you have to be. The Euro hides are fantastic, but more expensive. Its all about choices and with 413 leathers in H&M, there should be one that works for you.
I can ship worldwide, Seattle is easy.
Not sure what you are looking for in a price, there are no grade "B" leathers in any brands I carry?
