Raw hides that are dehaired or split move to 4103, even if not tanned.
If wet-blue tanned
Once tanned (eanned with chrome), it becomes crust leather in 4104, no longer raw.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify weight per skin does not exceed limits (8kg dry, 10kg dry-salted, 16kg fresh/preserved) to avoid reclassification to 4101.20.40
• Provide CITES documentation if from protected bovine species; declare preservation method accurately
• Avoid any tanning or further preparation, as that shifts to Chapter 41 headings 4104-4107
