What HS 4112.00 covers
This code specifically covers finished leather derived from sheep or lamb, which has been further processed beyond initial tanning or crusting, and is free of wool. This includes both split and unsplit forms, making it versatile for various applications. Sheep and lamb leather is renowned for its softness, lightweight nature, and fine grain, making it highly desirable for garments, gloves, luxury linings, and small leather goods. Major importers are typically fashion and apparel manufacturing hubs such as Italy, China, India, and Turkey, where it's transformed into high-value consumer products. Exporters often include countries with large sheep populations and established tanning industries, like Australia, New Zealand, Spain, and the UK. Trade in this category emphasizes quality, texture, and specific finishes, as well as adherence to animal welfare and environmental standards. The global demand for soft, pliable leather ensures a consistent international market for these goods.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
