About chapter 41
Chapter 41 covers raw hides and skins (other than furskins) and leather: the unprocessed and tanned material before it's cut and sewn into finished goods, which then fall under chapter 42 (leather articles) or chapter 64 (footwear).
Classification tip: Raw, tanned and 'crust' (partially tanned) leather each have distinct subheadings, and several countries restrict or tax raw hide exports differently from finished leather to encourage local tanning.

Chapter 41 FAQ
What does HS code chapter 41 cover?
Chapter 41 of the Harmonized System covers: raw hides and skins (other than furskins) and leather. It belongs to section VIII (Hides, Skins & Leather) and contains 11 four-digit headings, 4101–4115.
How many HS codes are in chapter 41?
Chapter 41 contains 11 four-digit headings and 37 six-digit subheadings. Countries subdivide these further (8–13 digits) in their national tariff schedules, so the full national count is larger.
Is HS code 4101 the same in every country?
Yes. The six-digit level of every code in this chapter is harmonised by the World Customs Organization and identical in all member countries. Digits beyond the sixth (for example the US 10-digit HTS or the EU 8-digit CN) are national and set the actual duty rate.
How do I choose the right code within chapter 41?
Work from the four-digit heading down: pick the heading that best matches your product, then the six-digit subheading that matches its material, form or processing. If two codes seem to fit, customs rules (the General Rules of Interpretation) decide, and when in doubt, confirm with your customs broker before filing.
