Heading 4102 — Raw skins of sheep or lambs (fresh, salted, dried, limed, pickled or otherwise preserved, but not further prepared), whether or not with wool on or split
Chapter 41: Raw hides and skins
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 410229 when importing or exporting raw hides and skins of sheep or lambs that are fresh, salted, dried, limed, pickled, or otherwise preserved. For example, if you're shipping salted sheep hides to a tannery, this code applies.
This code specifically covers raw skins of sheep or lambs that have not been tanned or further prepared. In contrast, HS-6 410221 is for raw sheep or lamb hides that are tanned or otherwise treated, which would not apply here.
When classifying under this heading, remember that the hides must not be split or dehaired. If you have processed hides, such as those that are tanned, you would need to look at different codes.
If you're dealing with raw skins of other animals, such as goats or cattle, you would refer to different HS-6 codes under the same chapter. For example, HS-6 410120 covers raw hides of cattle.
