Pickled Sheepskin from Merino Lamb from Canada
Freshly pickled sheepskin from Merino lambs, preserved without wool and not split, used primarily for high-quality leather production. This falls under HTS 4102.21.00.65 as it is a raw sheep or lamb skin that has been pickled but not tanned, parchment-dressed, or further prepared. The preservation method keeps it in raw form suitable for further processing.

Import Tips
• Verify the skin is from sheep or lambs and confirm pickling preservation via lab tests or supplier certification to avoid misclassification as tanned leather
• Ensure documentation proves no tanning, parchment-dressing, or further preparation; include CITES permits if from protected species
• Check for wool removal certification, as wool-on skins may shift to other subheadings; watch for splitting that could reclassify under split categories
