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