Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If fancy or finished for upholstery
Fancy leathers or those for furniture/upholstery fall into separate subheadings with different rates.
If crust only, not further prepared
Crust leather (wet-blue or semi-processed) stays in 4104; further tanning moves it to 4107.
If already manufactured into gloves
Finished leather gloves are apparel in chapter 42, not raw leather stock.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include lab tests confirming no hair on and post-crusting processes like fat-liquoring to meet 'further prepared' criteria
• Declare exact end-use as 'glove' on entry forms; generic leather descriptions may lead to higher 'other' duties
• Check for split thickness specs, as overly thin splits could be questioned for upholstery vs glove use
