Raw hides that are dehaired or split (but not further prepared) move to heading 4103, distinguishing from unsplit whole hides.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the hide is truly fresh or simply preserved (salted/dried) without any tanning process to avoid misclassification into Chapter 41 tanned goods
• Provide certificates of origin and veterinary health certificates to confirm no pretanning and compliance with animal product import regulations
• Check weight documentation accurately as hides under 16 kg shift to 4101.50.20; splitting errors lead to audits
