410441
Tanned or crust hides and skins; bovine or equine, without hair on, in the dry state (crust), full grains, unsplit; grain splits
Heading 4104 — Tanned or crust hides and skins of bovine (including buffalo) or equine animals, without hair on, whether or not split, but not further prepared
Chapter 41: Raw hides and skins
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 410441 when importing or exporting tanned hides and skins from bovine or equine animals that are in a dry, crust state. For example, a shipment of full grain, unsplit cow hides would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers tanned bovine hides that are not further processed beyond the crust stage. In contrast, HS-6 410442 applies to similar hides that are split, which may affect their use in leather products.
When dealing with tanned hides, it’s essential to distinguish between those that are full grain and those that are split. Full grain hides retain the natural surface, making them desirable for high-quality leather goods, while split hides are often used for lower-end products.
If you're unsure whether your product qualifies under this code, consider the state of the hides. They must be dry and without hair, and not further prepared beyond the tanned crust stage.
