What HS 4114.10 covers
This HS code specifically covers chamois leather, including combination chamois. Chamois leather is a unique type of leather known for its exceptional softness, absorbency, and ability to be washed. Traditionally made from the skin of the chamois animal, it is now more commonly produced from the split hides of sheep, lamb, or goat, using a specific tanning process (oil tanning). Its primary applications are in cleaning cloths for vehicles and household surfaces, polishing cloths for delicate items, and sometimes for specialized garments or gloves where its softness is valued. Major importers include countries with strong automotive care industries and consumer markets for cleaning products, such as the USA, Germany, and Japan. Exporters are often countries with established tanning industries capable of this specialized oil tanning process, like the UK, France, and some parts of Asia. Trade in chamois leather focuses on its functional properties, such as absorbency and durability, and adherence to quality standards for its intended cleaning or polishing uses.

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).
