HS Code 4104.41 – Tanned or crust hides and skins; bovine or equine, without hair on, in the dry state (crust), full grains, unsplit; grain splits
HS code 4104.41 is the 6-digit subheading for tanned or crust hides and skins, bovine or equine, without hair on, in the dry state (crust), full grains, unsplit, grain splits. It is used for crust full grain bovine hides, crust unsplit equine hides, crust bovine grain splits, vegetable-tanned crust full grain and chrome-tanned crust full grain.
What HS 4104.41 covers
This code covers bovine and equine hides that have been tanned and then dried to a 'crust' state, specifically those that are full grains or unsplit grain splits. Crust leather is a semi-finished product, stable for storage and transport, and ready for the final finishing processes such as dyeing, embossing, and coating. It represents a significant stage in leather production, offering flexibility for tanneries to customize the final product based on market demand. Importers are typically finishing tanneries or leather goods manufacturers who perform the final aesthetic and functional treatments. Exporters are often tanneries in countries with robust livestock sectors. The EUDR note highlights the increasing regulatory pressure for traceability and deforestation-free sourcing, impacting trade documentation and supply chain management for these valuable materials.

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).
