Overview
HTS code 0511.99.20.00 encompasses parings and similar waste derived from raw hides or skins, as well as glue stock not specifically categorized elsewhere in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. This category is intended for materials that, due to their condition or form, are not suitable for the primary production of leather goods or other finished products. Glue stock specifically refers to animal parts, such as hooves, bones, and offal, that are processed for the extraction of gelatin or other adhesives.
This classification is distinct from sibling categories like 0511.99.30, which covers products primarily used for animal feed, and 0511.99.33.00 and 0511.99.36.00, which deal with specific materials like horsehair and natural sponges respectively. Unlike these, 0511.99.20.00 focuses on waste materials and raw components that serve as a source for glue or adhesive production, or are simply the byproduct of raw hide processing and unsuitable for other uses.
As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 0511.99.20.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification under this code depends entirely on the precise nature of the material being imported or exported, ensuring it meets the criteria of being parings, waste from raw hides/skins, or non-specified glue stock, and is not covered by more specific provisions within Chapter 5.
