This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If dried into crust leather
Dried wet-blue becomes crust, moving from wet-state subheading to full-grain crust under 4104.21.

If pre-tanned or raw state
Reversible pre-tanning processes keep hides in raw hide headings rather than tanned leather.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify chrome tanning process documentation to confirm wet-blue status and avoid reclassification as crust leather
• Ensure hides are declared as 'wet state' with moisture content records; dry hides shift to different subheadings
• Obtain CITES permits if from endangered bovine species; common pitfall is misdeclaring hair-on hides
