If dried into crust leather
Dried crust hides (retanned, colored, or fat-liquored then dried) move to full-grain crust subheading, no longer 'wet state'.
If further prepared and finished
Once tanned, retanned, and surface-finished (e.g., polished), it becomes full-grain finished leather under 4104.41.
If grain-split (split into grain/lining layer)
Grain-split hides are classified separately from unsplit wet-blue under heading 4107 for further prepared splits.
