HS code 4104.19 is the 6-digit subheading for tanned or crust hides and skins, bovine or equine, without hair on, in the wet state (including wet-blue), excluding full grains, unsplit, grain splits. It is used for wet-blue bovine flesh splits, wet-blue equine suede splits, wet-blue corrected grain hides, wet-blue buffed hides and wet-blue split leather.
What HS 4104.19 covers
This HS code pertains to bovine and equine hides that are tanned to the 'wet-blue' or wet crust state, but specifically exclude full grains, unsplit hides, and grain splits. This category typically includes various types of splits (e.g., flesh splits, suede splits) and corrected grain leathers in their initial tanned, wet form. These semi-processed materials are vital intermediates for tanneries that specialize in producing specific leather types, such as suede for footwear, lining leathers, or corrected grain for upholstery. The trade involves a global network of tanneries, with major exporters being countries with significant livestock industries and importers being manufacturing hubs. The EUDR note underscores the growing importance of supply chain transparency and ensuring that these products are sourced without contributing to deforestation, impacting trade practices and documentation requirements.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
