About hides and skins; raw, of animals n.e.c. in this chapter, fresh, salted, dried, limed, pickled or otherwise preserved, (but not tanned, parchment-dressed or further prepared), whether or not dehaired or split

HS code 410229 covers the trade of raw, untanned hides and skins from animals not elsewhere classified in the chapter. This industry plays a vital role in the global supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the leather manufacturing and processing sectors. The trade of these raw hides and skins is a significant component of the broader agricultural and livestock industries, contributing to economic activity across multiple sectors.

Production process

The production of raw hides and skins covered under HS code 410229 typically involves the initial slaughter and flaying of animals, followed by various preservation methods such as salting, drying, liming, or pickling. These techniques help to stabilize the hides and skins, preventing decomposition and preparing them for further processing or transportation.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of raw hides and skins under HS code 410229 include live animals, such as cattle, sheep, goats, and other livestock. Additionally, the preservation process requires access to salts, chemicals, and specialized equipment for curing and handling the raw materials. Transportation infrastructure and logistics are also crucial inputs to facilitate the movement of these raw materials to leather manufacturers and other downstream industries.

Production outputs

The raw hides and skins classified under HS code 410229 are the primary outputs of this industry. These materials are then consumed by various 410310 Hides and skins of bovine or equine animals, in the wet state, 410321 Hides and skins of sheep or lambs, in the wet state, and 410411 (Tanned or crust hides and skins of bovine (including buffalo) or equine animals, without hair on, whether or not split, but not further prepared) industries, which further process the raw materials into finished leather products.
