HS code for Finished pigskin leather: 4113.20
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.
Classification of finished pigskin leather under HS 4113.20
HS code 4113.20 is designated for leather of swine that has been further prepared after tanning or crusting. Pigskin is characterized by its distinct follicle pattern, usually appearing in groups of three, which penetrates through the entire thickness of the hide. For classification under 4113.20, the leather must be "finished," meaning it has undergone post-tanning treatments such as dyeing, embossing, or the application of surface coatings. This code excludes pigskin that is still in the wet-blue or crust state, which would be classified under heading 4106.31 or 4106.32. The classification also requires that the leather is not further processed into patent leather or chamois leather, which would move the product to heading 4114. The "further prepared" status is often verified by the presence of surface finishes that alter the natural state of the crust leather, such as protein finishes, nitrocellulose lacquers, or polyurethane coatings. Pigskin is widely used for linings and gloves, but the classification remains 4113.20 regardless of the end-use, provided it is imported as semi-finished material and not as cut-to-shape parts.

Codes often confused with 4113.20
Common mistake. Pigskin is often misclassified under 4113.90 (other animals) if the importer does not recognize the swine origin. It is also frequently confused with 4106.32, which is for pigskin in the crust state. If the pigskin is tanned with the hair on, it must be classified under 4302.19 as a furskin, though this is rare for swine.

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).
