HS Code 4103Raw hides and skins n.e.c in headings no. 4101, 4102; fresh, salted, dried, pickled or otherwise preserved, not further prepared, whether or not dehaired or split
3 six-digit codes · Heading 3 of 11 in Chapter 41 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 4103 is the catch-all heading for raw skins from reptiles, swine and other animals that 4101 and 4102 do not name.
The WCO writes heading 4103 as a residual bucket: goods of Chapter 41that answer to “Raw hides and skins n.e.c in headings no. 4101, 4102; fresh, salted, dried, pickled or otherwise preserved, not further prepared, whether or not dehaired or split” and that no more specific heading in the chapter already claims. It still carries 3 six-digit codes, 410320 through 410390, so “other” is not the end of the classification here. The heading is number 3 of 11 in Chapter 41, Raw hides and skins (other than furskins) and leather, which runs to 37 six-digit codes in all.
Six-digit codes under heading 4103
| HS Code | Import–export description |
|---|---|
| 410320 | Hides and skins; raw, of reptiles (fresh or salted, dried, limed, pickled or otherwise preserved, but not tanned, parchment-dressed or further prepared), whether or not dehaired or split |
| 410330 | 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 |
| 410390 | Hides and skins; raw, of animals n.e.c. in this chapter, fresh, salted, dried, limed, pickled or otherwise preserved, (but not tanned, parchment-dressed or further prepared), whether or not dehaired or split |
What is HS code 4103 and what does n.e.c mean?
The letters n.e.c stand for "not elsewhere classified". Think of the heading as the spare drawer of Chapter 41. A raw skin lands here only when no earlier heading already names its animal.
Raw means the skin has been kept from rotting but has not become leather. Tanning, parchment dressing or any other finishing step takes it out of this heading.
Six-digit codes under 4103: reptile, swine and other animals
All three codes follow the same raw-skin rules. Only the animal changes. Look for the named animal first. Use the last code as a fallback when neither of the first two fits.
- 410320: raw reptile skins, such as the ones you would look up as the HS code for raw reptile skins.
- 410390: raw skins of any other animal in the chapter, the "other raw hides and skins" code.
Difference between HS 4101, 4102 and 4103
Ask two questions about your goods. Which animal did the skin come from? Has it been tanned yet? The answers point to one heading.
Raw skins are sorted by animal across the first three headings. Tanned or crust skins move on to the next group, where the animal group still matters.
- Raw sheep or lamb skins: heading 4102.
- Tanned or crust sheep and lamb skins: heading 4105.
HSN code 4103 and national tariff lines
India calls its version the HSN code. The first six digits match the Harmonized System, so the same digits mean the same goods in every country that uses it.
Many countries add extra digits after those six. These longer codes are national tariff lines. They appear on customs forms and can differ from one country to the next. When you see a longer code, check that it starts with 410320, 410330 or 410390. If you are unsure which code fits your goods, try the HS code classifier.
