Classification of finished kidskin leather under HS 4113.10
Finished kidskin leather is classified under HS code 4113.10, which is specifically reserved for leather further prepared after tanning or crusting from goats or kids. Kidskin is a premium material derived from young goats, prized for its exceptionally soft texture, lightweight nature, and fine grain. The classification 4113.10 indicates that the leather has undergone secondary processing beyond the preservation stage (tanning). This includes processes such as dyeing, softening (fat-liquoring), and surface finishing like the "glacé" finish common in glove-making. Under the Harmonized System, goat and kid leather are separated from sheep and lamb leather (heading 41.12) due to the different fiber structures and industrial applications. To be correctly classified here, the leather must have the hair removed and must be in a finished state. It is used extensively in the production of high-end fashion accessories, particularly gloves, bookbinding, and delicate footwear. The code ensures that the trade of goat-derived leather is distinguished from other livestock for statistical and regulatory purposes.

Codes often confused with 4113.10
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is with HS code 4112.00, which is for finished sheep or lamb leather. While they look similar, the pore structure of goat skin is distinct. Another error is using HS code 4106.22, which covers goat leather in the crust state. If the leather has been dyed or finished in any way, it must be moved from 4106 to 4113.10. Additionally, kidskin with the hair still on is classified in Chapter 43 as furskin, not in Chapter 41.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
