Written to help non-specialists understand this page. Rates, dates, and legal facts come from the official records above and on the linked source.
HTS heading 4106 covers tanned or “crust” skins from animals other than the types placed in nearby headings, when the wool or hair has been removed. The skins may be whole or split into layers, but they must not be further prepared into more advanced leather products. “Crust” generally means leather that has been tanned and dried, but still needs additional finishing.
This is a 4-digit category, not usually the final tariff classification. To reach the applicable 8-digit HTSUS subheading, first identify the animal or material type and then follow the more specific subdivisions, including any distinction for whether the skin is split or other listed characteristics. Confirm that the goods have not received processing that moves them into a different heading, and use the current HTSUS text and statistical notes for the final code.
What to check
- Identify the animal species or material source, and keep supplier specifications or production records supporting it.
- Confirm the goods are tanned or crust skins with the wool or hair removed, rather than raw skins or skins retaining hair.
- Determine whether the skin is split, and record which layer is being imported when the product description requires that distinction.
- Check whether finishing, coating, shaping, or other processing makes the goods more than “not further prepared.”
- Read the full 8-digit HTSUS descriptions, section and chapter notes, and applicable statistical suffixes; ask a customs broker or request a binding ruling if the facts are unclear.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
