HS Code 4102.10 – Skins; raw, of sheep or lambs, fresh, or salted, dried, limed, pickled or otherwise preserved, (but not tanned, parchment-dressed or further prepared), with wool on

HS code 4102.10 is the 6-digit subheading for skins, raw, of sheep or lambs, fresh, or salted, dried, limed, pickled or otherwise preserved, (but not tanned, parchment-dressed or further prepared), with wool on. It is used for raw sheepskins (wool-on), raw lambskins (wool-on), salted sheepskins (wool-on), dried lambskins (wool-on) and preserved sheepskins (wool-on).

What HS 4102.10 covers

This HS code specifically covers raw sheep or lamb skins that still have their wool on, and have not undergone tanning, parchment dressing, or further preparation. These 'wool-on' skins are highly valued for their dual utility: the wool can be processed for textiles, and the skin itself can be tanned into shearling or other specialized leathers for garments, footwear, or decorative items. International trade involves countries with large sheep populations exporting these skins to tanneries and manufacturers specializing in wool-on leather products or those who process both wool and skin separately. Importers are often in fashion, footwear, and interior design industries. Key trade factors include the quality and length of the wool, the condition of the skin, and the preservation method, all of which impact the final product's value and application.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
