Analysis
HTS 4106.40.00 covers tanned or crust skins of other animals, without wool or hair on, whether or not split, but not further prepared: of reptiles under heading 4106 (tanned or crust skins of other animals, without wool or hair on, whether or not split…).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from 2.4% to 4.2%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 4106.32.00 (in the dry state (crust)), at 4.2%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 4.2 percentage points.
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.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 25% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 25% duty.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 316110 (Leather and Hide Tanning and Finishing), an industry of 152 US establishments employing 2,884 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
