About hides and skins; other than whole, but including butts, bends and bellies, of bovine (including. buffalo) and equine animals, fresh, salted or preserved, but not tanned, parchment dressed or further prepared, whether or not dehaired or split

HS code 410190 covers a crucial segment of the global leather industry, encompassing hides and skins from bovine (including buffalo) and equine animals that are not processed beyond the initial preservation stage. These raw materials serve as the foundation for a wide range of leather products, from footwear and apparel to upholstery and industrial applications. The trade in these semi-processed hides and skins is an integral part of the broader import/export landscape, connecting producers and suppliers across the world.

Production process

The production of the goods covered by HS code 410190 typically involves the initial slaughter of the animals, followed by the removal and preservation of the hides and skins. This preservation can be achieved through various methods, such as salting, drying, or the application of other chemical treatments. The hides and skins may also undergo additional processing, such as dehairing or splitting, to prepare them for further downstream manufacturing.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 410190 are the live bovine (including buffalo) and equine animals, as well as the necessary equipment and facilities for slaughter, hide/skin removal, and preservation. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of chemicals, salts, and other materials used in the preservation and initial processing of the raw materials.

Production outputs

The hides and skins classified under HS code 410190 serve as the primary inputs for the production of a wide variety of leather goods.
