4102.29.30.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 4102.29.30.00, covers raw sheep or lamb skins that are preserved but not tanned, parchment-dressed, or further prepared. This includes skins that have undergone treatments such as salting, drying, liming, or pickling. Importantly, these skins are classified here only if they are specifically without wool. The "Other" designation within this subcategory signifies skins that do not fit into more specific preserved, wool-free sheep or lamb skin classifications.

The primary distinction for this category lies in its exclusion of wool-bearing sheep and lamb skins and its focus on skins that have not undergone tanning or further preparation beyond initial preservation. For instance, it differs from 4102.29.20.00, which specifically covers vegetable-tanned skins. This category, 4102.29.30.00, encompasses a broader range of preserved, de-wooled sheep and lamb skins that do not fall into more narrowly defined preservation methods, as long as they remain in a state prior to tanning.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges on the precise definition of preserved, wool-free sheep or lamb skins that have not been tanned, parchment-dressed, or further prepared beyond the initial preservation treatments. Classification under this heading requires careful examination of the processing history of the skins to ensure they meet all stipulated conditions and are not excluded by any relevant notes to Chapter 41.
