Tanning extracts of vegetable origin; quebracho extract

HS v2017 Code: 320110

About tanning extracts of vegetable origin; quebracho extract

HS code 320110 covers tanning extracts of vegetable origin, including the important quebracho extract. These natural tanning agents play a crucial role in the leather industry, providing the essential chemicals needed to transform raw hides into durable, high-quality leather products. As a key input for a wide range of consumer and industrial goods, the tanning extract industry is an integral part of the broader global trade and manufacturing ecosystem.

Production process

Tanning extracts like quebracho are typically produced through a process of extraction and concentration. The raw materials, such as quebracho wood, are first mechanically or chemically processed to break down the plant matter and release the tannin compounds. These tannins are then isolated and purified through a series of filtration, evaporation, and drying steps to create the final concentrated extract.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the tanning extract industry include the raw plant materials, such as quebracho trees, as well as the equipment and infrastructure needed for the extraction and processing operations. This can include grinding machines, extraction vessels, evaporators, and drying equipment. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also important inputs to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The main output of HS code 320110 is the tanning extract itself, which is then consumed by the 4104 leather industry as a key ingredient in the leather tanning process. These tanning extracts may also be used in other applications, such as the production of 3203 dyes and pigments or 3301 essential oils.
