Last updated: August 2026 dataPickling — immersion in an acid-salt bath — is a standard preservation and preparatory step that stabilizes skins for long-distance shipment without advancing them to a tanned state. Sheep and lamb skins that have had the wool removed and been pickled are classified here, with three 10-digit lines (4102210000, 4102210065, 4102210095) distinguishing unsplit from split material. Canada and Italy are the primary US suppliers under this heading, reflecting both North American livestock processing and Italy's role as a hub for semi-processed leather intermediates destined for US tanneries. The split/unsplit distinction at the 10-digit level matters because split skins yield a thinner, more uniform substrate used in suede and garment leather, commanding different pricing and end-use specifications.

Pickling is a reversible preservation process using acid and salt that does not cross the threshold into tanning. Tanned hides are classified in Chapter 41 headings 4104–4106, while pickled but not tanned skins remain in 4102. If a supplier's process goes beyond pickling into chrome or vegetable tanning, the goods must be reclassified, which can affect duty rates and admissibility requirements.
The commercial invoice and packing list should specify whether the skins have been split (grain layer separated from the flesh split) or remain unsplit. A mill or tannery certificate from the exporting establishment confirming the processing stage is advisable, particularly for shipments from Italy where further processing may have occurred before export.
