About tanned or crust hides and skins; of swine, without hair on, whether or not split, but not further prepared, in the wet state (including wet-blue)

HS code 410631 covers the trade of tanned or crust hides and skins of swine, without hair on, in the wet state. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader leather and textile supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the production of a wide range of leather goods, apparel, and other consumer products. The global market for these products is driven by the increasing demand for sustainable and ethically sourced materials, as well as the growing popularity of leather-based fashion and lifestyle items.

Production process

The production of tanned or crust hides and skins of swine typically involves a multi-step process. After the initial slaughtering and skinning of the animals, the raw hides undergo a series of treatments, including liming, deliming, pickling, and tanning. These processes remove any remaining hair, flesh, and other impurities, and transform the raw material into a stable, durable, and versatile leather product. The final wet-blue or crust state is an intermediate stage in the leather-making process, where the hides are partially tanned and ready for further processing or finishing.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 410631 products include raw swine hides, tanning chemicals (such as chromium salts, vegetable tannins, or synthetic tanning agents), water, and specialized machinery for the various processing steps. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in leather-making techniques, as well as access to reliable transportation and logistics networks to move the raw materials and finished products.
