HS Code 4106.32 – Tanned or crust hides and skins; of swine, without hair on, whether or not split, but not further prepared, in the dry state (crust)

HS code 4106.32 is the 6-digit subheading for tanned or crust hides and skins, of swine, without hair on, whether or not split, but not further prepared, in the dry state (crust). It is used for pigskin crust for shoe uppers, pigskin crust for glove manufacturing, pigskin crust for garment components, pigskin crust for wallet interiors and pigskin crust for bag linings.

What HS 4106.32 covers

This HS code pertains to tanned or crust hides and skins of swine, without hair, and in the dry 'crust' state. Unlike wet-blue, these hides have been dried after tanning, making them easier to transport and store before final finishing processes like dyeing and softening. Swine crust leather is valued for its strength and versatility, commonly used in the production of shoe uppers, linings, gloves, and various leather goods. Countries with large pig farming industries, such as China and the USA, are key exporters. Importers include manufacturers in Asia and Europe who further process these hides into finished leather products. The 'crust' state represents a crucial intermediate stage, offering a stable base for diverse leather applications.

Vietnam did not report 2025 data, and its estimate from partner records misses its trade with other countries that did not report: in 2024 that was 94% of its imports here ($1.2M, CEPII BACI), so it may also belong among the top importers.

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. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. 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).
