Last updated: July 2026 dataButts, bends, and bellies are the three anatomical sections produced when a whole hide is cut for tannery processing — butts and bends representing the heavier dorsal portions and bellies the thinner flank sections. Because these cuts arrive already sectioned rather than whole, they fall outside the whole-hide headings and are classified here, with eight 10-digit lines (4101901010 through 4101907000) distinguishing fresh/wet-salted from other preservation states, bovine from equine, and vegetable-pretanned from non-pretanned material. Mexico and Canada together account for the largest share of US imports under this heading, consistent with integrated North American hide processing flows. Tanneries importing these cuts should confirm the preservation method and pretanning status with their supplier before entry, as both variables drive line-level classification.

The HTS structure follows the physical state of the hide at the time of importation. Once a whole hide has been cut into butts, bends, or bellies — a common tannery preparation step performed in the exporting country — it no longer qualifies as a 'whole' hide under headings 4101.20 or 4101.50 and must be classified under 4101.90 regardless of the original animal's weight.
Thailand has developed a significant leather processing sector that re-exports partially processed bovine hide cuts, including wet-salted and pickled bends, sourced from regional cattle slaughter. Importers should ensure that country-of-origin documentation reflects the country where the hide was last substantially transformed, which may differ from the country of the original slaughter.
