HS-4 · Heading
4107 — Leather further prepared after tanning or crusting, including parchment-dressed leather, of bovine (including buffalo) or equine animals, without hair on, whether or not split, other than leather of heading 41.14
Chapter 41: Raw hides and skins
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 4107 when importing leather that has been further prepared after tanning or crusting, such as parchment-dressed leather from bovine or equine animals. For instance, if you're shipping full grain, unsplit hides, this code is relevant for your documentation.
When deciding between HS-6 lines, consider whether the leather is a whole hide or skin. 410711 covers full grain, unsplit hides, while 410712 is for grain splits. If your product is a split hide, you should use 410719 instead, which encompasses other types of leather not classified as full grain or grain splits.
If your leather is not a whole hide but includes sides, you will need to differentiate further. Use 410791 for full grain, unsplit sides, and 410792 for grain splits. For leather that doesn't fit these specific categories, refer to 410799, which captures all other types of prepared leather.
