View full HS code details

Full grain leather is classified under HS code 4107.11 when it consists of whole hides of bovine or equine animals that have been further prepared after tanning or crusting. Chapter 41 of the Harmonized System deals with raw hides and skins and leather. Heading 4107 specifically covers leather further prepared after tanning or crusting, including parchment-dressed leather, of bovine or equine animals, without hair on. The subheading 4107.11 is restricted to whole hides that are \"full grain\" and \"unsplit.\" Full grain refers to leather that has not had the grain layer removed or buffed, preserving the natural surface and durability of the hide. This classification excludes leather that has been split into layers (splits) or leather that has not undergone secondary preparation beyond the initial crust stage. The leather must be in the form of a whole hide to meet the requirements of this specific subheading.

Common Misclassification

HS code 4107.12 (Grain splits) is often confused with 4107.11. Grain splits are the top layer of a hide that has been mechanically separated (split) from the bottom layer, whereas 4107.11 is strictly for unsplit hides. Furthermore, leather that is only \"tanned\" or \"crust\" without further finishing should be classified under heading 4104. Another error involves leather from other animals; for example, sheep or lamb leather is classified under heading 4112, and goat leather falls under 4113. Finally, if the leather is not a whole hide, it must be moved to the 4107.9x series.
