Detailed information for HTS Code 4104.11.50

This code falls within Chapter 41, which covers raw hides, skins, leather, and articles made from them. Specifically, 4104.11.50 refers to tanned or crust hides and skins of bovine or equine animals, without hair, in the wet state—meaning they’ve undergone initial tanning but aren’t fully processed. Several subdivisions exist to further classify these wet-blue hides and skins based on whether they are split or not, and if split, whether they are grains or other types; use the appropriate statistical suffix (.30, .40, .70, or .80) to indicate this specific type of wet-blue hide or skin. Remember to select the suffix that accurately reflects the level of processing and whether the hide/skin has been split.
