Last updated: April 2026 dataServing as the residual catch-all for raw animal hides and skins not captured by more specific SITC headings, this category encompasses a wide range of species — including equine, porcine, reptilian, and other non-bovine, non-ovine hides — in any preservation state and whether or not dehaired or split. The breadth of species covered means that CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) restrictions may apply to certain exotic hides, requiring export permits from the country of origin and US Fish & Wildlife Service import documentation. Correct species identification at entry is essential, as misclassification between a CITES-listed and non-listed species can result in seizure.

Reptile skins (crocodilian, python, monitor lizard), certain shark skins, and hides from other wildlife species listed under CITES Appendices I or II require both an export permit from the country of origin and a US Fish & Wildlife Service import declaration (Form 3-177). Even hides from non-listed species may require a declaration if the species cannot be immediately verified at port. Importers should obtain species identification documentation from the exporter before shipment.
Dehairing and splitting are preparatory mechanical steps that do not constitute tanning or finishing; hides that have been dehaired or split but not tanned remain classified as raw hides. Once a hide undergoes any tanning process — vegetable, chrome, or otherwise — it exits the raw-hide classification entirely and is reclassified as leather under a different SITC heading.
