View full HS code details

Wet-blue kidskin is classified under HS code 410621. This classification is based on the biological origin of the skin and the specific stage of the tanning process. Chapter 41 covers hides and skins, and heading 4106 is designated for the hides and skins of animals not covered in previous headings (such as bovine, equine, sheep, or swine), specifically including goats and kids. The subheading 410621 refers to skins in the "wet state," specifically "wet-blue," which indicates the skin has undergone chrome tanning but has not yet been dried, dyed, or further finished. This state is characterized by a distinct blue tint from the chromium salts and is a standard intermediate stage in international leather trade.

Common Misclassification

Wet-blue kidskin is often confused with 410390, which covers raw hides and skins. However, once the tanning process has begun, the item must move to 4106. Another common error is misclassifying it under 411310, which is for goat or kid leather that has been further prepared (crust or finished) after tanning. Since wet-blue is an unfinished, wet stage, 410621 is the only appropriate code. It should also not be confused with 410622, which covers skins in the dry state (crust).
