4107.91.70.30 - Belting

This classification, HTS 4107.91.70.30, specifically covers "Belting" made from leather that has undergone further preparation after tanning or crusting. This includes leather of bovine (including buffalo) or equine animals, which is de-haired and may have been split, but is not leather falling under heading 4114. The "full grains, unsplit" designation indicates that the outermost layer of the hide remains intact, preserving its natural grain pattern. This particular subcategory is for belting that is not considered "fancy," meaning it lacks elaborate embellishments, special finishes, or decorative treatments that would elevate it to a more specialized category.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, it's important to note the specific use and treatment. While 4107.91.70.40 covers glove and garment leather, and 4107.91.70.50 includes leather for bags, cases, straps, and collars, this category is exclusively for belting. The "not fancy" qualifier further differentiates it from potentially more ornate or specialized types of belting that might fall under other, more specific classifications if they existed at this level or within a "fancy" designation. The "Other" classification at preceding levels indicates that this belting is not of a type specifically enumerated in prior subheadings within the broader category of unsplit full grain leather.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 4107.91.70.30. Therefore, the classification is complete at this level, identifying specific types of unsplit, non-fancy belting made from prepared bovine or equine leather. Classification decisions at this point would rely on confirming the material composition, preparation process, and the intended application as belting that does not possess special decorative features.
