4101.90.70.00 - Other

This HTS category, "Other," within the broader classification of raw hides and skins of bovine or equine animals, specifically encompasses those that do not fit into the more defined subdivisions. This includes hides and skins that have undergone preservation treatments such as salting, drying, liming, or pickling, but have not yet been tanned, parchment-dressed, or further processed. Crucially, this category covers all such hides and skins that are not specifically designated as "Of bovine animals (including buffalo)" at this level.

The distinction from its sibling category, "Of bovine animals (including buffalo)," is essential for accurate classification. While both fall under the general umbrella of raw hides and skins of bovine or equine animals, this "Other" category specifically excludes those solely originating from bovine species (including buffalo). Therefore, any raw hides or skins from equine animals that meet the preservation criteria but are not further processed would fall under this designation.

As a leaf node, this category represents the final level of specific classification for this particular type of raw hide and skin. When classifying goods, users should first determine if the hide or skin is of bovine or equine origin, and whether it has undergone any of the specified preservation treatments but remains untanned. If it meets these criteria and does not fall under the "Of bovine animals (including buffalo)" sibling, then HTS code 4101.90.70.00 is the appropriate classification.
