About skins; raw, of sheep or lambs, fresh, or salted, dried, limed, pickled or otherwise preserved, (but not tanned, parchment-dressed or further prepared), with wool on

HS code 410210 covers the trade of raw sheep and lamb skins, which are an essential input for the leather and textile industries. These skins are collected from slaughterhouses and farms, and undergo various preservation methods to prepare them for further processing. The global market for raw sheep and lamb skins is driven by the demand for leather goods, wool, and other products derived from these materials, making it a crucial component of international trade and manufacturing supply chains.

Production process

The production of raw sheep and lamb skins involves several key steps. First, the skins are removed from the animals, either at slaughterhouses or on farms. They are then subjected to various preservation techniques, such as salting, drying, liming, or pickling, to prevent decomposition and prepare them for storage and transportation. These methods help to maintain the quality and integrity of the skins, ensuring they are suitable for further processing by the leather and textile industries.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of raw sheep and lamb skins include the live animals, as well as the various chemicals and equipment used for preservation. Farmers and ranchers provide the live animals, while slaughterhouses, tanneries, and other processing facilities supply the necessary infrastructure and resources for skin collection and preservation. Additionally, the industry relies on a supply of salt, lime, and other chemicals used in the curing and pickling processes.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 410210 is raw, preserved sheep and lamb skins, which are then consumed by the 410320 Skins; raw, of sheep or lambs, tanned or retanned, but not further prepared and 510111 Wool; greasy, including fleece-washed wool, not carded or combed industries.
