Tanned or crust hides and skins; of animals other than equine, ovine, bovine, goats or kids, swine and reptiles, without wool or hair on, whether or not split, but not further prepared, in the wet state (including wet-blue)

HS code 410691 covers: Tanned or crust hides and skins; of animals other than equine, ovine, bovine, goats or kids, swine and reptiles, without wool or hair on, whether or not split, but not further prepared, in the wet state (including wet-blue). This HS code serves as a catch-all for tanned or crust hides and skins from various animals not specifically categorized elsewhere (i.e., not equine, ovine, bovine, goats/kids, swine, or reptiles), without wool or hair, and in the 'wet-blue' state. This includes hides from animals like kangaroo, deer, ostrich (body), and certain fish species. These hides are often specialized, used for niche applications requiring unique properties such as the exceptional strength of kangaroo leather for sports gear, or the distinctive texture of ostrich leather for luxury items. 'Wet-blue' signifies that they are chrome-tanned but still wet, requiring further processing. Trade involves specialized tanneries and manufacturers catering to specific performance or luxury markets, with Australia being a notable exporter of kangaroo hides.

Wet-blue kangaroo leather, Wet-blue deer leather, Wet-blue ostrich body leather, Wet-blue fish leather, Wet-blue buffalo leather (non-bovine), Wet-blue camel leather, Wet-blue game animal leather

Can be confused with 410692 (dry state/crust) due to moisture content, or with other specific animal categories (e.g., 410621 for goat wet-blue) if the 'other animals' distinction is not carefully applied.

HS code 410691 is a 6-digit subheading under the Harmonized System. The first 2 digits (41) identify the chapter, digits 3-4 (06) identify the heading, and digits 5-6 (91) specify the subheading. This code is standardized globally by the World Customs Organization.
