Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 4115 when importing or exporting composition leather made from leather or leather fiber, such as slabs or sheets. For example, if you're shipping rolls of composition leather used in upholstery, this is the correct code.

When deciding between HS-6 411510 and HS-6 411520, consider the product's condition. If you're dealing with intact slabs or sheets of composition leather, go with 411510. However, if your shipment consists of leather scraps or waste material, such as parings or dust, then 411520 is the appropriate choice.
