Lower weight threshold shifts to subheading for lighter whole hides, still raw bovine but different size category.

4101Same rate: 17.5%

If dehaired or split

Processing beyond basic preservation (dehairing/splitting) moves to full hides/skins subheading, no longer 'whole'.

4103.20Lower: 10% vs 17.5%

If pretanned (reversible process)

Any reversible pre-tanning excludes from 4101; Chapter note directs to 4103 for pretanned raw hides.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify hide weight exceeds 16 kg per unit and confirm 'whole' status (not split) via supplier documentation to avoid reclassification

Provide CITES permits if hides originate from protected bovine sources; include preservation method details (e.g

salt content) in entry docs
