HS Code for Equine hide pieces
View full HS code detailsEquine hide pieces are classified under HS code 410190. Heading 4101 covers raw hides and skins of bovine or equine animals, whether fresh, salted, dried, limed, pickled, or otherwise preserved, but not tanned, parchment-dressed, or further prepared. Subheading 410190 specifically includes "other" items, which encompasses hides and skins that are not whole. This includes specific anatomical sections such as butts, bends, and bellies, as well as other pieces of hides. The classification is determined by the raw state of the material and the fact that the hides have been cut into pieces rather than being traded as full, whole skins.

Common Misclassification
Equine hide pieces are commonly misclassified under 410120 or 410150, which are reserved for whole hides and skins of specific weights. Because 410190 is for pieces, any hide that is not complete must be moved here regardless of weight. Another error is classifying these pieces under 051199 as animal products not elsewhere specified; however, since they are hides intended for the leather industry, Chapter 41 takes precedence. If the pieces have been tanned, they must be moved to 4104. Finally, if the pieces are waste intended for glue or gelatin production, they might fall under 0511.
