Production process

The production of tanned or crust hides and skins under HS code 410621 involves a series of complex processes. The raw hides and skins are first subjected to a tanning process, which involves the use of chemicals and agents to preserve the material and improve its durability. This is followed by a 'crusting' stage, where the tanned hides are further processed to remove excess moisture and prepare them for further finishing or dyeing. The wet blue stage refers to the use of chromium salts in the tanning process, which imparts a distinctive blue-green color to the leather.

These may include tanning agents, such as chromium salts, as well as dyes, lubricants, and other finishing materials. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as tanning drums, drying racks, and finishing machines, are essential for the efficient production of these leather products.
