Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If flesh split rather than grain split
Flesh splits from whole hides fall under a separate subheading in 4107.12, based on which layer of the split is used.
If crust (wet) state, not further prepared
If only crust-processed (retanned but not fully finished), it remains in 4104 per chapter note (b), not 4107.
If made into finished gloves
When fabricated into complete leather gloves, classification shifts to Chapter 42 for apparel articles.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide veterinary certificates confirming equine origin, as equine leather requires specific documentation under Chapter 41 notes
• Ensure splits are documented as 'grain splits' from whole skins to distinguish from flesh splits in 4107.22
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as sole leather; conduct physical tests for flexibility to support upper designation
