4113.90.30.00 - Not fancy 🖩

This HTS category, 4113.90.30.00, specifically covers "Not fancy" leather derived from animals other than cattle, sheep, goats, or horses, after it has undergone further preparation following tanning or crusting. This includes parchment-dressed leather, and the material may be split, but importantly, it will not retain its wool or hair. The key characteristic defining this classification is the absence of elaborate decorative treatments or finishes that would elevate its aesthetic appeal or perceived value beyond that of standard, everyday leather.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 4113.90.60.00 ("Fancy"), by the level of finish and aesthetic presentation. "Fancy" leather typically implies treatments such as embossing with intricate patterns, special dyeing techniques, metallic finishes, or other decorative processes that make it visually distinctive and often suitable for higher-end applications. In contrast, "Not fancy" leather under this code represents a more utilitarian grade, suitable for a wide range of standard leather goods where the focus is on the material's inherent qualities rather than decorative embellishment.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges on accurately assessing whether the prepared leather of other animals, without wool or hair, has undergone additional decorative or finishing processes that would qualify it as "fancy." If it has not, and remains a standard, prepared leather, it falls under this specific classification.
