About hides and skins; raw, whole, of bovine or equine animals, of a weight per skin exceeding 16 kg

HS code 410150 covers the trade of raw, whole hides and skins from bovine or equine animals that weigh more than 16 kg per skin. This industry is a crucial component of the global leather supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the production of a wide range of leather goods, from footwear and apparel to furniture and automotive interiors. The demand for these raw materials is driven by the growing global population and the increasing consumption of leather products, particularly in emerging markets.

Production process

The production of raw hides and skins covered under HS code 410150 typically involves the slaughter of cattle or horses, followed by the careful removal and preservation of the whole hide or skin. This process often includes salting, drying, or freezing the raw material to prevent decomposition and ensure its quality and durability during transportation and storage.

Production inputs

The key inputs for this industry include the live bovine or equine animals, as well as the necessary infrastructure and equipment for slaughter, hide/skin removal, and preservation. Producers may also require access to specialized tanning chemicals, dyes, and other materials used in the subsequent leather-making process.

The primary output of this industry is the raw, whole hides and skins, which are then sold to 410121 Hides and skins; raw, of bovine animals, fresh or salted, dried, limed, pickled or otherwise preserved, but not tanned, parchment-dressed or further prepared, 410122 Hides and skins; raw, of bovine animals, otherwise preserved, and 410129 Hides and skins; raw, of bovine animals, n.e.c. in heading no. 4101 industries for further processing into leather products.
