Last updated: August 2026 dataGrain-split whole hides of bovine and equine animals — where the hide has been split horizontally to separate the grain layer from the corium — occupy a distinct classification from unsplit full-grain leather, reflecting a processing step that affects both thickness and end-use performance. The US tariff schedule mirrors the structure of heading 410711 with parallel end-use subdivisions covering upper, lining, upholstery, sole, belt, glove/garment, bag/case/strap, and fancy leather, plus a dedicated line for buffalo grain splits (4107124000). Correct classification requires documentation of both the split condition and the specific commercial application, as the grain-split designation is a material specification that cannot be inferred from the finished article alone.

Importers should obtain a mill or tannery certificate specifying the splitting method, the resulting thickness or layer (grain vs. split/corium), the intended end-use (e.g., upper, lining, upholstery), and whether the leather is classified as fancy. Commercial invoices that describe only 'bovine leather' without these details are frequently insufficient for CBP to verify the correct line among the 14 tariff lines under 410712.
Yes. Buffalo leather has its own dedicated tariff line (4107124000) within heading 410712, separate from other bovine grain-split leather. This distinction matters because buffalo hides have different fiber density and surface characteristics, and some trade partners are significant buffalo leather exporters, making origin and species documentation important for accurate classification.
