4101.50.10.20 - Other

This HTS code, 4101.50.10.20, covers "Other" raw hides and skins of bovine (including buffalo) or equine animals. These hides and skins are specifically whole and weigh more than 16 kg. They are in a state of preservation such as fresh, salted, dried, limed, or pickled, but crucially, they have not undergone any tanning, parchment dressing, or further preparation. This category encompasses hides and skins that do not fit into more specific classifications within the broader "Of bovine animals" group.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 4101.50.10.10 ("Cattle"), is important for accurate classification. While both fall under whole bovine or equine hides and skins exceeding 16 kg and not pretanned, this particular subcategory is for those bovine hides and skins that are not specifically identified as cattle hides. This implies it would include raw hides and skins from other types of bovine animals.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is therefore determined by the specific characteristics outlined: being a whole hide or skin, exceeding 16 kg in weight, not pretanned, of a bovine animal, and not being cattle. This code serves as a residual category for other bovine hides and skins that meet these broad criteria.
