Hides and skins, raw, of swine, (fresh or salted, dried, limed, pickled or otherwise preserved, but not tanned, parchment-dressed or further prepared), whether or not dehaired or split.
Classification of raw pigskins under HS 4103.30
Raw pigskins are classified under HS code 4103.30. Chapter 41 of the Harmonized System covers raw hides and skins (other than furskins) and leather. Heading 4103 is a residual category for other raw hides and skins that are not from bovine, equine, sheep, or goat animals. Subheading 4103.30 specifically identifies swine (pig) skins. For classification here, the skins must be in a raw state, meaning they have not been tanned, parchment-dressed, or further prepared. They may be fresh, salted, dried, limed, pickled, or otherwise preserved to prevent putrefaction. This code applies whether or not the skins have been dehaired or split. The distinction between a raw skin and leather is the chemical change induced by tanning; once the skin is tanned, it is no longer classified under 4103. This classification is vital for the leather industry as it distinguishes the raw material from the semi-processed or finished leather products which carry different duty structures and environmental regulations.

Codes often confused with 4103.30
Common mistake. Raw pigskins are often misclassified under HS code 4106.31, which is for tanned pigskins in the wet state (wet-blue). If the skin has undergone the tanning process, it must move to 4106. Another error is using 0203, which is for pig meat. If the skin is intended for human consumption and is attached to the meat, it is a food product; 4103.30 is strictly for industrial raw materials.

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).
