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.
