HS Code for Crust goatskin

Crust goatskin is classified under HS code 410622. This classification falls under Chapter 41, which covers hides and skins. Heading 4106 specifically includes skins of goats or kids. The subheading 410622 is reserved for goatskins that have undergone the tanning process and have been dried (the \"crust\" state) but have not been further prepared or finished. This distinguishes them from \"wet-blue\" skins, which are tanned but still wet. The classification ensures that the level of processing is accurately reflected for customs valuation and regulatory compliance. Crust leather is a stable, tradable commodity that allows manufacturers to apply specific finishes, colors, and textures at a later stage, depending on the final product requirements. The absence of hair is a requirement for this heading, as skins with hair on are generally classified under heading 4301 or 4302 as furskins.

Products Included

Common Misclassification

Crust goatskin is most commonly misclassified under 410621, which is the code for goatskins in the wet state (wet-blue).

Additionally, if the hair is still present, it falls under 4103 or Chapter 43.
