About tanned or crust hides and skins of other animals, without wool or hair on, whether or not split, but not further prepared

HS code 4106 covers the tanning and processing of hides and skins from animals other than bovine, equine, sheep, or goat. This industry plays a crucial role in the global leather supply chain, providing raw materials for the production of a wide range of leather goods, from footwear and apparel to upholstery and automotive interiors. The demand for these processed hides and skins is driven by the growing consumer appetite for leather products, as well as the need for specialized materials in various industrial applications.

Production process

The production of tanned or crust hides and skins under HS code 4106 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw hides are subjected to a series of pre-tanning treatments, such as soaking, liming, and dehairing, to remove any remaining hair, fat, or other impurities. The hides are then tanned, often using vegetable or mineral tanning agents, to stabilize the collagen fibers and impart the desired properties. Finally, the tanned hides may undergo further processing, such as splitting, dyeing, or finishing, to create the desired texture and appearance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of tanned or crust hides and skins under HS code 4106 include the raw hides and skins from various animals, such as 4103 Hides and skins of other animals, as well as tanning agents, dyes, and other chemicals necessary for the processing and finishing of the leather. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as tanning drums, splitting machines, and finishing equipment, are essential for the efficient and consistent production of these materials.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 4106 is tanned or crust hides and skins, which are then used as inputs for the production of a wide range of leather products. These processed hides and skins may be further processed and consumed by industries covered under other HS codes, such as 4107 Leather of bovine or equine animals, without hair on, other than leather of heading 4108 or 4109, 4112 Leather of sheep or lamb, without wool on, other than leather of heading 4108 or 4109, and 4113 Leather of other animals, without wool or hair on, other than leather of heading 4108 or 4109.
