HS code for Crust pigskin: 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).

Classification of crust pigskin under HS 4106.32

Crust pigskin is classified under HS code 4106.32 because it represents swine skins that have undergone the tanning process but have not yet been finished into final leather. This specific code is reserved for skins in the "dry state," commonly referred to in the industry as "crust." The classification process for Chapter 41 requires a hierarchical approach: first identifying the animal origin (swine), then the state of processing (tanned/crust), and finally the moisture condition (dry). Unlike "wet-blue" skins, crust pigskin has been dried after tanning, which stabilizes the material for long-term storage and transport. It must be "without hair on" and not "further prepared," meaning it should not have been dyed, embossed, or coated. If the skin has undergone any mechanical or chemical finishing beyond the crust stage, it would move to a different heading. This classification is critical for tanneries and manufacturers who import semi-processed skins to perform final finishing locally.

Codes often confused with 4106.32

Common mistake. Crust pigskin is frequently confused with HS code 4106.31, which covers swine skins in the "wet state" (including wet-blue). The primary difference is the moisture content and the stabilization method. Another common error is classifying these skins under 4113.20, which is reserved for pig leather that has been "further prepared" or finished. If the skin has been dyed through or surface-coated, it must be moved to 4113.20. Additionally, raw pigskins (not yet tanned) fall under 4103.30.

Top exporters and importers of HS 410632 (the code used for crust pigskin), 2025

Taiwan 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 57% of its exports here ($1.8M, CEPII BACI), so it may rank higher. 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).
