Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 411390 when importing or exporting leather that has been further prepared after tanning, specifically from animals like cattle or horses, without any wool or hair. For instance, if you're shipping a batch of cowhide leather for upholstery, this is the code you need.
This HS-6 line covers leather that is not from sheep, goats, swine, or reptiles, distinguishing it from HS-6 411391, which includes leather from those specific animals. If you have a shipment of goat leather, you would classify it under the latter code instead.
When considering leather products, note that HS-6 411390 includes parchment-dressed leather, which is a type of leather treated to retain its natural characteristics. This can be important for products like bookbinding or specialty leather goods.
If you're unsure about the classification, remember that the absence of wool or hair is a key factor in determining whether to use this code. Always verify the specific animal source and treatment process to ensure compliance.
