About HS Code 410622

This HS code encompasses tanned or crust hides and skins derived from goats or kids, specifically those without hair and in a dry, semi-finished state known as 'crust.' These hides have undergone initial tanning but require further processing like dyeing, softening, and finishing before becoming usable leather. They are highly sought after in the global market for their fine grain and flexibility. Major exporters typically include countries with significant goat farming and tanning industries, such as India, Pakistan, and China. Importers are often European nations like Italy, Spain, and France, where they are transformed into high-value finished leather for luxury goods, garments, and footwear. Key things to know include the 'crust' state, which signifies an intermediate product, and the specific animal origin (goat/kid) which dictates its texture and end-use applications.
