未鞣去毛山羊皮

🐐 Goat Skin, Not Tanned (Vegetable, Chrome, etc.) or Preserved

🌐 HS Code Reference & Customs Clearance Guide | 2026 Latest Tariff Full Analysis | Professional Clearance Strategy
📌 I. Product Definition & Classification: Do You Really Understand "Raw Goat Skin"?

"Not tanned" goat skins refer to the hides or skins of goats that have undergone only initial processing (such as salting, drying, or liming) to prevent decay, but have not undergone the full tanning process (vegetable, chrome, synthetic, etc.) that converts raw hide into stable leather. These are raw materials used in the subsequent leather processing industry.

In international trade, they are strictly distinguished from "tanned leather" and "preserved skins for taxidermy."

Key Distinction:
- Raw/Unprocessed (Salty/Dried): Still contains natural proteins, prone to rotting, classified as Chapter 41.
- Tanned (Leather): Processed with tanning agents, stable, classified as Chapter 41 but different HS codes.
- Preserved for Taxidermy: Treated specifically to retain shape/appearance for taxidermy, classified under 05.05.

⚠️ Critical Point:
- If the skin is merely salted, dried, or limed to prevent decay, it falls under Chapter 41.
- If it is tanned (any method), it also falls under Chapter 41 but with different subheadings.
- If it is preserved specifically for taxidermy (e.g., stuffed animals), it falls under 05.05.

🔍 Key Reminder:

- Do not confuse with "Chrome-tanned" or "Vegetable-tanned," which are tanned and have different HS codes.
- Goat skin is distinct from sheep, cow, or pigskin.
