HS Code 4113.90 – Leather; further prepared after tanning or crusting, including parchment-dressed leather, of animals (other than sheep and lambs, goats and kids, swine and reptiles), without wool or hair on, whether or not split, other than leather of heading 41.14

HS code 411390 is a 6-digit subheading in the Harmonized System that covers: Leather; further prepared after tanning or crusting, including parchment-dressed leather, of animals (other than sheep and lambs, goats and kids, swine and reptiles), without wool or hair on, whether or not split, other than leather of heading 41.14. This HS code serves as a residual category for finished leathers from animals other than bovine, equine, sheep, lamb, goat, kid, swine, or reptiles, which have been further prepared after tanning or crusting and are free of wool or hair. This includes leathers from animals like deer, kangaroo, ostrich, and fish. These "other" leathers are often specialized, offering unique properties such as exceptional strength (kangaroo), distinctive texture (ostrich), or specific aesthetic appeal (fish skin). They are typically used in niche markets for high-performance sports goods, luxury accessories, or unique fashion items. Importers are often specialized manufacturers in countries like Italy, Japan, and the USA, seeking unique materials for their premium products. Exporters include countries with specific animal populations and specialized tanning industries, such as Australia (kangaroo), South Africa (ostrich), and various regions for deer or fish leather. Trade in this category is characterized by smaller volumes, higher value, and strict adherence to species-specific regulations and ethical sourcing.

This code is a "catch-all" and can be confused with more specific animal leathers (e.g., 4107xx, 411200, 411310) if the animal origin is not correctly identified. It's crucial to distinguish it from bovine or equine leathers, which are covered under 4107.

In 2025, the top exporters of HS code 411390 in UN Comtrade data were South Africa ($34M, 28% of world exports), Italy ($23M) and Australia ($8.5M). World exports came to about $120M, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Vietnam did not report 2025 data, and its estimate from partner records misses its trade with other countries that did not report: in 2024 that was 98% of its exports here ($25M, CEPII BACI), so it may also belong among the top exporters.

In 2025, the top importers of HS code 411390 in UN Comtrade data were France ($19M, 18% of world imports), the United States ($12M) and the Philippines ($10M). World imports came to about $103M, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Cambodia did not report 2025 data, and its estimate from partner records misses its trade with other countries that did not report: in 2024 that was 66% of its imports here ($26M, CEPII BACI), so it may also belong among the top importers.

HS code 411390 is a 6-digit subheading under the Harmonized System. The first 2 digits (41) identify the chapter, digits 3-4 (13) identify the heading, and digits 5-6 (90) specify the subheading. This code is standardized globally by the World Customs Organization.
