4104.11.50.70 - Other

This HTS classification, 4104.11.50.70, specifically encompasses "Other" tanned or crust hides and skins of bovine or equine animals, without hair on, that are in the wet state and have been split. This means the hides have undergone the tanning process to preserve them and prevent putrefaction, resulting in leather. The key characteristic here is that the hides are still moist, often referred to as "wet-blue" due to the chromium tanning process commonly used, and they have been physically separated into layers (split).

This category is distinct from its sibling, 4104.11.50.40 ("Grains"), which would cover full grains and grain splits that remain unsplit in the wet state. Therefore, 4104.11.50.70 is for those wet-blue hides and skins that have been split into multiple layers, excluding any that are still in their full grain or have only undergone grain splitting without further separation of the hide's thickness. The "Other" designation at this level indicates it captures all wet-blue split hides and skins that do not fall into any more specific subcategories within the wet-blue split classification.

As a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 4104.11.50.70. This means that once a commodity meets the criteria of being a tanned or crust hide of bovine or equine origin, without hair, in the wet state, and has been split (other than grain splits), it will be classified here. Practical classification would involve verifying the moisture content and confirming that the hide has been physically separated into layers, with no further preparation or processing beyond the tanning and splitting stages.
