4104.19.50 - Other

HTS Code 4104.19.50 encompasses tanned or crust hides and skins of bovine (including buffalo) or equine animals, without hair, that have been split but are not further prepared beyond tanning. This "Other" subcategory captures those wet-state hides and skins that do not fit into more specific classifications within the wet-blue category at this level. It's crucial to note that while these are in the wet state, they have moved beyond the raw hide stage due to the tanning process.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 4104.19.40, which specifically covers upper leather and sole leather. Therefore, 4104.19.50 is for wet-state, tanned hides and skins of bovine or equine origin that are not intended or prepared for use as upper or sole leather and have not undergone further processing such as dyeing or finishing that would place them in a different classification. The "Other" designation signifies that these are the remaining items within the wet-blue category that don't meet the more specific criteria of other subheadings.

Within this "Other" category, further subclassification exists to refine the classification based on specific processing or characteristics. The primary subdivision, 4104.19.50.80, is also designated as "Other," indicating a further level of granular detail is applied to these wet-state, tanned hides and skins that are not otherwise specifically categorized. This layered approach ensures precise tariff application for a wide range of bovine and equine leathers.
