Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If specifically for soles, not uppers
Equine crust designated sole leather uses separate subheading within full grains unsplit.
If surface-finished post-crust
Post-crust finishing (e.g., corrected grain) moves to 4107 for other finished equine leather.
If raw or pre-tanned, not crust
Pre-tanning raw hides stay in 4103; crust requires tanning and drying process.

Import Tips & Compliance
