HS code 4106.91 is the 6-digit subheading for tanned or crust hides and skins, of animals other than equine, ovine, bovine, goats or kids, swine and reptiles, without wool or hair on, whether or not split, but not further prepared, in the wet state (including wet-blue). It is used for wet-blue kangaroo leather, wet-blue deer leather, wet-blue ostrich body leather, wet-blue fish leather and wet-blue buffalo leather (non-bovine).

What HS 4106.91 covers

This HS code serves as a catch-all for tanned or crust hides and skins from various animals not specifically categorized elsewhere (i.e., not equine, ovine, bovine, goats/kids, swine, or reptiles), without wool or hair, and in the 'wet-blue' state. This includes hides from animals like kangaroo, deer, ostrich (body), and certain fish species. These hides are often specialized, used for niche applications requiring unique properties such as the exceptional strength of kangaroo leather for sports gear, or the distinctive texture of ostrich leather for luxury items. 'Wet-blue' signifies that they are chrome-tanned but still wet, requiring further processing. Trade involves specialized tanneries and manufacturers catering to specific performance or luxury markets, with Australia being a notable exporter of kangaroo hides.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
