Heading 4101 — Raw hides and skins of bovine (including buffalo) or equine animals (fresh, salted, dried, limed, pickled, otherwise preserved but not tanned, parchment dressed or further prepared), whether or not dehaired or split
Chapter 41: Raw hides and skins
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 410190 when importing or exporting hides and skins from bovine or equine animals that are not whole but include parts like butts, bends, and bellies. For example, if you’re shipping salted hides from cattle, this is the correct code.
This code is specifically for hides and skins that are fresh, salted, or otherwise preserved but have not undergone tanning or further preparation. In contrast, HS-6 410120 covers whole hides that are also preserved but are not split or dehaired.
If you’re dealing with processed leather goods or tanned hides, you would need to look at higher HS codes, such as HS-6 4104. However, if your product is simply preserved raw material, HS-6 410190 is the right choice.
When classifying your product, consider how it’s packaged and its intended use. For example, if you have a shipment of salted bovine hides for further processing in leather production, this code applies.
