4101.20.35.00 - Of buffalo 🖩

This HTS classification, 4101.20.35.00, specifically pertains to raw, unsplit hides and skins originating from buffalo. These hides and skins can be in various preserved states, including fresh, salted, dried, limed, or pickled, but they must not have undergone tanning or further preparation beyond these initial preservation methods. The weight criteria for inclusion in this subcategory, as established by the parent category, are specific: not exceeding 8 kg when simply dried, 10 kg when dry-salted, or 16 kg when fresh, wet-salted, or otherwise preserved.

This category is distinguished from other sibling categories at the same level primarily by the species of origin. While the broader categories within 4101.20 encompass whole, unsplit hides and skins of bovine (including buffalo) and equine animals, this specific subcategory narrows the focus exclusively to buffalo. Therefore, hides and skins from cattle, or horses, even if meeting the weight and preservation criteria, would not fall under this precise classification.

As this node represents a leaf in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is definitive based on the material (buffalo hides/skins), their unsplit state, and their weight and preservation methods as outlined in the preceding levels. The key is to ensure the goods are raw, whole, and unsplit, derived specifically from buffalo, and fall within the specified weight thresholds for their respective preservation states.
