Analysis
HTS 4102.29.10 covers other: not pretanned under heading 4102 (raw skins of sheep or lambs (fresh, or salted, dried, limed, pickled or otherwise…). 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 2%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 4102.29.30 (other: other), at 2%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 2 percentage points.
For statistics it divides in two: 4102.29.10.10 for hair sheep and cabretta skins and 4102.29.10.90 for other. 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.
The other lines in the same group are 4102.29.20 (vegetable pretanned, duty-free) and 4102.29.30 (other: other, 2%).
