Classification of finished animal leather under HS 4113.90
Finished animal leather under HS code 4113.90 serves as a residual classification for leather derived from animals not specifically named in other subheadings of heading 41.13. This code applies to leather that has been further prepared after the tanning or crusting process, meaning it has been dyed, grained, buffed, or otherwise finished for industrial or commercial use. The scope of 4113.90 includes leather from animals such as deer, elk, kangaroo, antelope, camel, and ostrich. To qualify for this code, the leather must have the hair or wool removed and must not be from bovine, equine, sheep, goat, swine, or reptile species, as those have their own dedicated codes. The classification is determined by the biological origin of the skin and the state of its finish. This category is essential for the trade of exotic and specialty leathers used in high-end upholstery, gloves, and specialized sporting equipment. It ensures that leathers which do not fit into the major livestock categories are still accurately tracked and taxed according to their value and processing level.

Codes often confused with 4113.90
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification involves HS code 4113.10 (goat/kid) or 4113.20 (swine) when the user is unsure of the animal origin. Another error is using 4106.92, which is for tanned or crust leather of other animals. If the leather has not been "further prepared" (finished), it belongs in 4106; if it has been finished, it belongs in 4113.90. It is also often confused with 4114.10 if the leather has been chamois-dressed.

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).
