4104.49.30.60 - Other

This HTS classification, 4104.49.30.60, covers "Other" tanned or crust hides and skins of bovine (including buffalo) or equine animals, specifically those of buffalo that fall into the dry (crust) state and are not further prepared, and are not classified as upper leather. This designation is for buffalo hides and skins that have undergone the tanning or crusting process, are devoid of hair, and may have been split, but do not meet the specific requirements for other categories within this sub-heading.

The distinction from its sibling category, 4104.49.30.10 (Upper leather), is crucial. Upper leather is typically a finished or semi-finished product specifically intended for the manufacture of footwear uppers, often characterized by specific surface finishes, consistent thickness, and a uniform appearance. Therefore, 4104.49.30.60 encompasses buffalo crust hides and skins that, while tanned, are not exclusively designated or prepared for footwear uppers and might be intended for a broader range of industrial or manufacturing uses.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to explore. The classification ends here, meaning goods falling under this specific HTS code have been definitively categorized based on the preceding hierarchical distinctions: being tanned or crust buffalo hides and skins, without hair, in a dry state, not further prepared, and not specifically classified as upper leather.
