4103.90.20.00 - Other

This HTS category, 4103.90.20.00, encompasses "Other" raw hides and skins that have undergone preservation but have not been tanned or further prepared. This includes materials that are fresh, salted, dried, limed, or pickled, and may or may not have been dehaired or split. The key characteristic is that these are raw hides and skins in an intermediate state of preservation, suitable for subsequent tanning processes, but not yet transformed into leather. This category is distinct from tanned or otherwise prepared leather goods.

The preceding level of classification distinguishes between specific types of raw hides and skins. For instance, at the same level, "Of goats or kids" represents a specific animal origin. This "Other" category, therefore, serves as a residual classification for raw hides and skins that do not fall into those more specifically defined groups. It captures a broad range of animal hides and skins that meet the general criteria of being preserved but not tanned.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 4103.90.20.00. Classification within this code depends on determining that the material is indeed a raw hide or skin, has been preserved through one of the listed methods, and is not a product of goats or kids, nor has it been tanned, parchment-dressed, or further processed into leather. Examples of goods that might fall here include sheepskins preserved in brine, cattle hides dried for transport, or pigskins that have been limed.
