Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 410691 when importing or exporting tanned hides and skins from animals other than common livestock like cows or sheep. For example, if you're shipping wet-blue tanned hides from a non-bovine animal, this code applies.

This code specifically covers tanned or crust hides from animals such as deer, elk, or other non-traditional sources, without any wool or hair. In contrast, HS-6 410692 deals with similar hides that have been further processed.

When considering HS-6 410691, note that it includes hides in the wet state, such as those that are wet-blue. This differentiates it from dry or fully processed hides that fall under different codes.

If you're unsure whether your product fits this classification, consider the animal source and the processing stage. Hides from reptiles or swine, for example, would not qualify under this code.
