4106 — Tanned or crust hides and skins of other animals, without wool or hair on, whether or not split, but not further prepared
Chapter 41: Raw hides and skins
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 4106 when importing tanned or crust hides and skins of animals like goats or swine, whether they are in wet or dry state. For example, if you're bringing in wet-blue goat hides, this is the correct heading to classify your shipment.
To differentiate between subheadings, consider the state of the hides. HS-410621 and HS-410631 cover wet state hides (including wet-blue), while HS-410622 and HS-410632 are for dry state hides (crust). Ensure you know the moisture content of your product to choose accurately.
Another important distinction is the type of animal. If your hides come from reptiles, you would use HS-410640. For hides from other animals not specifically mentioned, like deer or camel, you would select either HS-410691 for wet state or HS-410692 for dry state.
