Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 410419 when importing or exporting tanned hides and skins of bovine or equine animals in the wet state. For instance, if you're shipping wet-blue bovine hides that have been tanned but not split, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers tanned or crust hides that are not fully processed and are in a wet condition. In contrast, HS-6 410410 applies to similar hides that are fully processed and dry, which would not fit here.
When dealing with these hides, note that they should be without hair and not split. If you have split hides, you would need to look at HS-6 410421 instead, which covers those products.
If you're unsure whether your product qualifies, consider its state and processing level. For example, if the hides are dry or fully processed, they would not fall under this subheading.
