Sourcing this category from India

HS 41.15 covers composition leather and leather waste — parings, dust, powder and flour. India's large tanning base generates and trades these by-products, which are reconstituted into bonded leather board for shoe components, bookbinding and backing materials.

How to read this code

41.15 is the four-digit HS heading for composition leather with a basis of leather or lea. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many raw hides, leather, fur & travel goods lines — check our import guides for your market.
