HS code 4113.20 is the 6-digit subheading for leather, further prepared after tanning or crusting, including parchment-dressed leather, without hair on, whether or not split, other than leather of heading 41.14, of swine. It is used for pigskin lining leather, swine leather for gloves, pigskin wallet leather, shoe upper pigskin and garment pigskin.

What HS 4113.20 covers

This HS code covers finished leather derived from swine (pigs), which has been further prepared after tanning or crusting, and is free of hair. This includes both split and unsplit forms. Swine leather is characterized by its distinctive pore pattern, durability, and breathability, making it a cost-effective and versatile material. It is widely used for linings in footwear, gloves, small leather goods, and sometimes for outer garments or upholstery where its unique texture is desired. Major importers are typically countries with large-scale manufacturing of shoes, bags, and apparel, such as China, Vietnam, and Mexico. Exporters often include countries with significant pork industries and established tanneries, like the USA, China (as both importer and exporter of different grades), and some European nations. Trade in swine leather often focuses on bulk quantities and consistent quality for industrial applications, with increasing attention to sustainable processing methods.

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. 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).
