HS code for Raw swine hides: 4103.30

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 swine hides under HS 4103.30

Raw swine hides are classified under HS code 410330. This code is situated within Chapter 41, which governs the international trade of raw hides, skins, and leather. The classification applies specifically to the skins of pigs, hogs, or boars in their raw, untanned state. To qualify for this code, the hides must be fresh, salted, dried, limed, pickled, or otherwise preserved for transport, but they must not have undergone any tanning or further preparation that would turn them into leather. The distinction is critical because the physical properties of swine skin, including the characteristic follicle patterns, differentiate them from bovine or equine hides. Under the Harmonized System, swine hides are separated from other animals to allow for specific monitoring of the pork byproduct industry and to apply relevant sanitary and phytosanitary regulations that differ from those applied to cattle hides.

Codes often confused with 4103.30

Common mistake. Raw swine hides are often confused with HS code 4101, which covers raw hides of bovine (cattle) or equine (horse) animals. While the preservation methods are similar, the species of the animal dictates the four-digit heading. Another frequent error is classifying them under 410631, which is the code for swine leather in the wet-blue state. Once the tanning process has begun, the product is no longer "raw" and must move to the leather headings. Additionally, if the skin is prepared for use as food (such as pork rinds), it may fall under Chapter 2 or Chapter 16 rather than Chapter 41.

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).
