HTS heading 4114 is a broad product category for certain specially finished leathers. It groups chamois leather, including combination chamois; patent leather and patent laminated leather; and metallized leather. These terms describe the leather’s finish, treatment, or construction—not simply the animal it came from.
To reach the specific 8-digit HTSUS code, start by identifying which heading 4114 product you have, then follow the more detailed subheadings and statistical provisions. The final code commonly depends on the leather’s type or finish and other classification details stated in the tariff schedule. Use the product’s actual composition and manufacturing process, not its marketing name, and have a customs broker or classification specialist review difficult or borderline cases.
What to check
- Identify whether the product is chamois, patent or patent laminated leather, or metallized leather before looking for the 8-digit code.
- Confirm how the leather was made and finished, including any coating, lamination, metallic layer, or combination of materials.
- Check the tariff schedule’s subheading descriptions and unit-of-measure provisions at every level; do not stop at the 4-digit heading.
- Compare the product description with supplier specifications, technical data sheets, samples, and purchase documents.
- Keep records supporting the classification and request professional advice or a binding ruling when the construction or finish is unclear.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
