About HS Code 410419
This HS code pertains to bovine and equine hides that are tanned to the 'wet-blue' or wet crust state, but specifically exclude full grains, unsplit hides, and grain splits. This category typically includes various types of splits (e.g., flesh splits, suede splits) and corrected grain leathers in their initial tanned, wet form. These semi-processed materials are vital intermediates for tanneries that specialize in producing specific leather types, such as suede for footwear, lining leathers, or corrected grain for upholstery. The trade involves a global network of tanneries, with major exporters being countries with significant livestock industries and importers being manufacturing hubs. The EUDR note underscores the growing importance of supply chain transparency and ensuring that these products are sourced without contributing to deforestation, impacting trade practices and documentation requirements.
