HTS heading 4102 is a four-digit product category for raw skins of sheep or lambs. It covers skins that are fresh or preserved by methods such as salting, drying, liming, or pickling, but that have not been tanned, made into parchment, or further prepared. The skins may still have wool on them or may be split. The heading also excludes products identified in note 1(c) to Chapter 41, so that note must be checked before using heading 4102.
To select a specific eight-digit HTS code, start with heading 4102 and then follow the tariff schedule’s subheadings and statistical subdivisions. These distinctions commonly depend on the kind of skin, such as sheep or lamb, and on characteristics such as whether wool remains, whether the skin is split, or how it was preserved. Confirm the complete product description at the eight-digit level rather than relying on the heading alone.
What to check
- Confirm that the goods are still raw or only preserved, and have not been tanned, parchment-dressed, or otherwise further prepared.
- Identify whether the product is a sheep skin or lambskin, and document any distinction requested by the tariff schedule.
- Check whether wool is on the skin and whether the skin has been split; match those facts to the applicable subheading language.
- Review note 1(c) to Chapter 41 and any other relevant section or chapter notes for exclusions.
- Compare the full eight-digit description with the commercial invoice, product specifications, and physical goods; ask a customs broker or request an official classification ruling if the distinctions are unclear.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
