About raw skins of sheep or lambs (fresh, salted, dried, limed, pickled or otherwise preserved, but not further prepared), whether or not with wool on or split

HS code 4102 covers the trade of raw skins of sheep or lambs. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and leather supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the production of a wide range of products, from clothing and footwear to upholstery and industrial applications. The trade of these raw skins is a significant economic activity, with major importers and exporters operating across various regions worldwide.

Production process

The production of raw sheep and lamb skins typically involves a series of preservation techniques to ensure the skins remain in good condition prior to further processing. These techniques may include salting, drying, liming, or pickling the skins, all of which help to remove moisture, prevent decomposition, and prepare the skins for subsequent stages of leather production.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 4102 Raw skins of sheep or lambs industry include the live sheep and lambs themselves, as well as various chemicals and equipment used in the preservation and preparation of the raw skins. Farmers and ranchers who raise sheep and lambs are the primary suppliers of the raw materials, while tanneries and leather manufacturers rely on the availability of these skins to produce a wide range of leather goods.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 4102 Raw skins of sheep or lambs industry is, of course, the raw skins themselves. These skins are then typically consumed by industries covered under other HS codes, such as 4104 (Tanned or crust hides and skins of bovine (including buffalo) or equine animals, without hair on), 4105 Tanned or crust skins of sheep or lambs, without wool on, and 4106 Tanned or crust hides and skins of other animals, without wool or hair on, which further process the raw skins into finished leather products.
