CHAPTER

41 — Raw hides and skins (other than furskins) and leather

In plain English

This heading covers animal skins that have been tanned or treated in a crust state, with all wool or hair removed, and which have not undergone further preparation. These items may be split but remain in their basic processed form. The categories are divided by the type of animal, including goats, kids, swine, reptiles, and other animals excluding horses, sheep, cattle, and the previously mentioned groups. Additionally, the classification distinguishes between skins that are in a wet state, such as wet-blue, and those that are in a dry crust state.

Chapter 41 classification notes

Chapter 41 covers the leather-supply chain. CITES Appendix II reptile skins (crocodile, alligator, python) require CITES permits regardless of HS code. EU REACH restrictions on chromium (VI) tanning apply to imports.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Finished leather goods (handbags, jackets) go to Chapter 42 (articles of leather) not 41; raw and prepared leather stays in 41.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
