Analysis
HTS 4101.20.10 covers whole hides and skins, unsplit, of a weight per skin not exceeding 8 kg when simply dried, 10 kg when dry-salted, or 16 kg when fresh, wet-salted or otherwise… under heading 4101 (raw hides and skins of bovine (including buffalo) or equine animals (fresh, or salted…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in pieces and kilograms.
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 5%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 4101.20.40 (vegetable pretanned), at 5%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 5 percentage points.
For statistics it divides in two: 4101.20.10.10 for of bovine animals and 4101.20.10.20 for of equine animals. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 22% of the 121 tariff lines in chapter 41. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
