This industry plays a crucial role in the global leather supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the manufacturing of a wide range of leather products, from footwear and apparel to automotive and furniture upholstery.

Production process

The production of tanned or crust hides and skins under HS code 410419 involves a series of complex chemical and mechanical processes. The raw hides and skins are first soaked, limed, and dehaired to remove any remaining hair or other impurities. They are then tanned, typically using chromium or vegetable-based tanning agents, to stabilize the collagen fibers and impart the desired properties. The tanned hides and skins are then further processed, including dyeing, finishing, and splitting, to create the desired crust or wet blue leather.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of tanned or crust hides and skins under HS code 410419 include raw hides and skins, typically from bovine or equine animals, as well as various chemicals and processing agents such as tanning agents, dyes, and finishing agents. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as tanning drums, splitting machines, and drying facilities, are essential for the various stages of production.

Production outputs
