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, skins, and leather products, such as raw skins, tanned leather, coated leather, and furs.
• Leather products, such as bags, belts, wallets, gloves, shoes, and boots.
• Saddlery, harnesses, and related products.

Reason for classification:

The HS code system classifies goods based on their material, use, and manufacturing process. Items under the "41" chapter are all derived from animal skins and furs, hence they are classified as animal skins, furs, and products thereof.

In short, any product related to animal skins or furs typically falls under the "41" chapter.
