Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "41" represent animal skins, furs, and products thereof.

Specifically, this chapter includes:

• Animal furs and skins, including raw skins, tanned leather, dyed leather, etc.
• Animal hair, such as wool, cashmere, rabbit fur, etc.
• Various products made from animal skins and furs, such as leather clothing, shoes, gloves, luggage, and leather goods.
• Horsehair, horse tails, and other coarse animal hairs.

Reason for classification:

The HS code system classifies goods based on their material, use, and manufacturing method. Since products starting with "41" are primarily made from animal skins and furs, they are classified under the chapter "Animal skins, furs, and products thereof."

In short, if a product's main component is animal skin or fur, its HS code is likely to start with "41."
