Tanned or crust hides and skins; of goats or kids, without wool or hair on, whether or not split, but not further prepared, in the wet state (including wet-blue)

HS code 410621 covers: Tanned or crust hides and skins; of goats or kids, without wool or hair on, whether or not split, but not further prepared, in the wet state (including wet-blue). This code covers goat and kid skins that have been tanned to the 'wet-blue' or wet crust state, with the hair removed, and may or may not be split. These semi-processed skins are a vital intermediate product, known for their strength, softness, and durability, making them ideal for a variety of applications including footwear, garments, and bookbinding. The 'wet-blue' state, typically achieved through chrome tanning, stabilizes the collagen fibers, preparing the skins for further processing and dyeing. Importers are usually tanneries specializing in fine leathers, often located in Europe and Asia, while exporters are typically countries with large goat populations and initial processing capabilities, such as India, Pakistan, and Ethiopia. Efficient preservation and transport are key to maintaining quality and preventing spoilage.
