About hides and skins; raw, whole, of bovine or equine animals, of a weight per skin exceeding 16 kg

HS code 410150 covers the trade of raw, whole hides and skins from bovine (cattle) or equine (horse) animals that weigh more than 16 kg per skin. This industry is a crucial component of the global leather supply chain, providing the essential raw material for the production of a wide range of leather goods, from footwear and apparel to furniture and automotive interiors. As a major exporter of livestock, this industry plays a significant role in the economies of many countries, particularly those with large cattle and horse populations.

Production process

The production of raw hides and skins under HS code 410150 typically involves the slaughter of livestock, followed by the careful removal and preservation of the hides. This process often includes salting, drying, or pickling the hides to prevent decomposition and prepare them for further processing by leather manufacturers.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for this industry are the live bovine and equine animals, which are typically raised on farms or ranches. In addition to the animals themselves, the industry requires access to water, salt, and other chemicals used in the preservation and preparation of the raw hides. Specialized equipment, such as knives and other tools, are also necessary for the efficient removal and handling of the hides.

Production outputs

The main output of this industry is the raw, whole hides and skins, which are then sold to 410121 Hides and skins; raw, of bovine animals, fresh or salted, dried, limed, pickled or otherwise preserved, but not tanned, parchment-dressed or further prepared and 410122 Hides and skins; raw, of bovine animals, otherwise preserved manufacturers for further processing into leather products. These raw materials are essential for the production of a wide range of leather goods, including footwear, apparel, furniture, and automotive interiors.
