Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If flesh split rather than grain split
Flesh splits are classified separately under 4107.91 as they lack the outer grain surface, changing the subheading.
If crust leather not further prepared beyond retanning or fat-liquoring
Crust leather prior to full preparation after crusting falls in 4104; only further processed leather goes to 4107.
If already made into finished uppers for footwear
Once assembled into shoe uppers, it becomes a footwear part under Chapter 64, not raw prepared leather.
