About HS Code 410692

This code covers tanned or crust hides and skins from animals other than equine, ovine, bovine, goats/kids, swine, and reptiles, without wool or hair, and in the dry 'crust' state. Similar to 410691, this category includes hides from animals like kangaroo, deer, ostrich (body), and certain fish, but these have been dried after tanning, making them more stable for transport and storage. These crust hides are used for specialized applications that demand specific characteristics, such as the high tensile strength of kangaroo leather for performance footwear or motorcycle apparel, or the exotic appeal of ostrich body leather for luxury accessories. Trade typically occurs within niche markets, connecting specialized tanneries with manufacturers focused on unique leather products. Australia is a key supplier of kangaroo crust hides.
