HS Code 4112Leather further prepared after tanning or crusting, including parchment dressed leather, of sheep or lamb, without wool on, whether or not split, other than leather of heading 41.14

What HS code 4112 covers

The skins have already been tanned or crusted. After that, they were worked further to become finished leather. There is no wool left on the skin. The leather may be split into layers or kept whole.

Parchment-dressed leather is included. That rule keeps chamois, patent and metallised leather out of this heading.

In the trade you will hear other names for these goods. Common ones are finished sheep leather, lamb leather and sheep nappa. Upper leather for shoes and gloves is another everyday term. Customs does not use these names. For tariff classification, only the wording of the heading counts.

Heading 4112 belongs to Section VIII, the group for hides, skins and leather. If your goods are sheep or lamb leather and sit past the crust stage, this is usually the place to look.

HS code 411200 and longer national codes

Under the world system, heading 4112 has one six-digit code. That code is 411200. There is no split by finish, thickness or use at this level.

Many countries add more digits for their own tariff. In India, for example, you may see a longer HSN code. These longer codes still start with 411200. If a buyer or supplier quotes a longer number, check that it begins with those six digits.

Duties are set by each country, not by the world system. The same leather can face different rates in different markets. To check a product before you ship, use the HS code classifier or ask for a demo.

Sheep crust leather vs finished leather HS code

Three questions decide the heading. Is the skin raw, crust or finished? Which animal does it come from? Is it a special type such as chamois or patent? Use the list below as a quick guide.

• HS 4105: tanned or crust sheep and lamb skins, without wool on, but not further prepared.
• This is the heading on this page.
• HS 4107: the same stage of leather, but from bovine or equine animals, without hair on.
• HS 4113: the same stage of leather, but from animals other than sheep, lambs, cattle and horses.
• HS 4114: chamois, patent leather, patent laminated leather and metallised leather, even if made from sheep.

The difference between HS 4105 and 4112

The gap is the amount of work done after tanning. Heading 4105 is for sheep skins that are tanned or crusted and then left there. Heading 4112 starts when the leather has been prepared further. Crust leather is the stage before finishing, so it goes in 4105. Once finishing is done, it moves to 4112.

Chamois and patent sheep leather are a special case. They are not classified here. Heading 4114 takes them, because 4112 excludes that heading by name.
