About hides and skins; raw, of animals n.e.c. in this chapter, fresh, salted, dried, limed, pickled or otherwise preserved, (but not tanned, parchment-dressed or further prepared), whether or not dehaired or split

HS code 410229 covers the trade of raw, untreated hides and skins from animals not elsewhere classified in Chapter 41 of the Harmonized System. This industry plays a crucial role in the global supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the leather manufacturing and processing sectors. The trade of these raw hides and skins is a significant component of the broader agricultural and livestock industries, contributing to economic activity across multiple sectors.

Production process

The production of raw hides and skins covered under HS code 410229 typically involves the initial slaughter and flaying of animals, followed by various preservation methods such as salting, drying, liming, or pickling. These techniques are designed to prevent the decomposition of the hides and skins, ensuring they can be safely transported and stored before being further processed into leather products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of raw hides and skins under HS code 410229 include the live animals themselves, as well as the various chemicals and equipment used for preservation, such as salt, lime, and specialized drying facilities. Additionally, the industry relies on efficient transportation and logistics networks to move the raw materials from slaughterhouses and farms to leather manufacturers and processors.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 410229 is the raw, untreated hides and skins themselves. These materials are then consumed by various downstream industries, such as 410320 Hides and skins of sheep or lambs, in the wool, 410390 Other raw hides and skins, and 410411 (Tanned or crust hides and skins of bovine (including buffalo) or equine animals, without hair on), which further process the raw materials into finished leather products.
