4104.41.50.00 - Other

This HTS category, 4104.41.50.00, encompasses "Other" tanned or crust hides and skins of bovine (including buffalo) or equine animals, without hair on, whether or not split, but not further prepared. Specifically, it covers full grains and grain splits that are in the dry state (crust) and do not fall under the more specific classifications of upper leather or sole leather. This residual category serves as a catch-all for bovine and equine crust leathers that do not meet the established criteria for other defined leather types within this chapter.

Unlike its sibling category, 4104.41.40, which explicitly designates upper leather and sole leather, this category is for those bovine and equine crust leathers that are not intended for, or do not meet the specific requirements of, footwear components. The distinction hinges on the intended end-use or specific processing characteristics that define upper and sole leathers.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification within 4104.41.50.00 relies on the exclusion from more narrowly defined categories. Importers and exporters should ensure that the material in question is indeed tanned or crust bovine/equine hide or skin, without hair, and is not specifically classified as upper or sole leather to correctly utilize this code.
