4107.92.70.30 - Belting

This HTS category, 4107.92.70.30, specifically classifies "Belting" made from leather that has undergone further preparation after tanning or crusting. This includes leather of bovine or equine animals, which is de-haired and may be split. The "Belting" designation indicates a primary intended use in the construction of belts for machinery, power transmission, or similar industrial applications.

Distinguishing this classification from its siblings is crucial for accurate reporting. Unlike "Glove and garment" leather (4107.92.70.40), this belting leather is not primarily intended for apparel or handwear. Similarly, it differs from leather classified under "Bag, case, strap and collar" (4107.92.70.50), which are typically designated for accessories, luggage, or personal items. The "Other" category (4107.92.70.90) serves as a residual classification for prepared leather not falling into the more specific sibling uses.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 4107.92.70.30 rests on the physical characteristics of the leather – its preparation post-tanning, material origin, and its defined end-use as belting. This ensures that such industrial belting is appropriately identified and accounted for in trade statistics.
