About HS Code 410330

This category covers raw hides and skins derived from swine, traded internationally in various preserved states like fresh, salted, dried, or pickled, but not yet tanned. Pigskin is a significant by-product of the meat industry and is valued for its unique texture, durability, and breathability, making it suitable for a range of leather products. Importers are typically tanneries and manufacturers specializing in items like gloves, shoe linings, and specific types of garments or accessories. Major exporters are countries with large pork production, such as China, the United States, and European nations. The trade focuses on efficient processing and preservation to ensure the quality of the raw material for subsequent tanning and finishing, catering to both high-end and utilitarian applications.
