HS code 4113.30 is the 6-digit subheading for leather, further prepared after tanning or crusting, including parchment-dressed leather, of reptiles, whether or not split, other than leather of heading 41.14. It is used for alligator leather, crocodile leather, python leather, lizard leather and stingray leather.
What HS 4113.30 covers
This HS code specifically covers finished leather derived from reptiles, which has been further prepared after tanning or crusting, and is free of hair. This includes both split and unsplit forms. Reptile leathers, such as alligator, crocodile, snake, and lizard, are highly prized in the luxury goods market for their exotic patterns, unique textures, and durability. They are predominantly used in high-end fashion accessories like handbags, wallets, belts, and luxury footwear. Major importers are typically luxury fashion hubs and manufacturing centers such as Italy, France, Japan, and the USA, where these exotic leathers are crafted into exclusive products. Exporters often include countries with controlled reptile farming or harvesting operations, like the USA (for alligator), Southeast Asian nations (for crocodile and snake), and some African countries. Trade in reptile leather is heavily regulated by CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) to ensure sustainability and prevent illegal trade, making traceability and proper documentation critical.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
