About skins; raw, of sheep or lambs, pickled (but not tanned, parchment-dressed or further preserved), without wool on

HS code 410221 covers the trade of raw, pickled sheep or lamb skins without wool. This industry is an important part of the global leather supply chain, providing a crucial raw material for the production of various leather goods. The trade in these skins is particularly significant for countries with large sheep farming industries, as it allows them to maximize the value of their livestock by monetizing a byproduct that would otherwise have limited use.

Production process

The production of raw, pickled sheep or lamb skins involves several key steps. First, the skins are collected from slaughterhouses or sheep farms. They are then subjected to a pickling process, which involves treating the skins with a mixture of salt, acid, and other chemicals. This helps to preserve the skins and prepare them for further processing, such as tanning or parchment dressing.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 410221 products are raw sheep or lamb skins, as well as the various chemicals and materials needed for the pickling process. This includes salts, acids, and other preservative agents. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment and facilities to handle and process the skins in a safe and efficient manner.
