View full HS code details

Raw sheepskins with wool are classified under HS code 4102.10. Chapter 41 covers raw hides and skins, and heading 4102 is specifically for the skins of sheep or lambs. The subheading 4102.10 is distinguished by the presence of the wool on the skin. This is a critical distinction in the Harmonized System, as sheepskins without wool are classified under different subheadings. The skins must be in a raw state, meaning they have not undergone tanning or any process that turns them into leather. They can be fresh, salted, dried, limed, or pickled. It is important to note that certain types of lambskins, such as Astrakhan or Caracul, which are valued primarily for their fur-like appearance, are excluded from this heading and instead classified as furskins in Chapter 43. For standard sheep breeds, the presence of the wool is the defining characteristic for 4102.10. This code is used to track the raw material supply for both the leather and the shearling garment industries.

Common Misclassification

Common misclassifications include HS code 4102.21, which is for raw sheepskins without wool (rendered). Another error is using 4301.30, which is specifically for certain types of lambskins like Persian or Mongolian lamb that are classified as furskins. If the skin has been tanned with the wool on, it should be classified under 4302.13 rather than 4102.10.
