HS code 4115.10 is the 6-digit subheading for leather, composition leather with a basis of leather or leather fibre, in slabs, sheets or strip, whether or not in rolls. It is used for bonded leather sheets, reconstituted leather rolls, leather fiberboard, composition leather strips and recycled leather panels.
What HS 4115.10 covers
This category pertains to composition leather, also known as bonded or reconstituted leather, which is manufactured from leather scraps and fibers bonded together with a binder. It is typically traded in bulk forms such as slabs, sheets, or strips, and may or may not be in rolls. This material offers a cost-effective and uniform alternative to natural leather, making it popular for applications where consistency in thickness and texture is crucial, or for non-visible components. It finds extensive use in footwear (e.g., insoles, heel counters), bookbinding, small leather goods, and as backing material in furniture upholstery. Importers are often manufacturers seeking economical and consistent leather alternatives, while exporters are countries with significant leather processing waste and recycling capabilities. Key aspects of this trade include its environmental benefits through recycling, its consistent physical properties, and its versatility in various manufacturing processes.

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).
