Importers of Leather & Composition Leather Apparel paid $3.8M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $23.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Leather & Composition Leather Apparel imports of $23.5M in April 2026 ran 18% below the year-to-date monthly average of $28.7M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataLeather garments — from motorcycle jackets to tailored coats — are classified at the 10-digit level by gender, garment type, and whether the material is reptile leather, which triggers separate tariff treatment under 4203102000. Non-reptile coats and jackets for men and boys, women, girls, and infants each carry their own line (4203104030 and 4203104060 respectively), while anoraks occupy a dedicated provision at 4203104010. China dominates global production of leather outerwear, making these goods broadly subject to Section 301 tariff exposure, a key cost consideration for apparel importers sourcing from that origin.

Garments made from reptile leather are classified under 4203102000, which is a separate 10-digit line from all non-reptile leather apparel. Importers must verify the species of leather used, as reptile skins may also require CITES documentation depending on the species involved.
CBP expects commercial invoices and product specifications that clearly identify the intended wearer (men's/boys' vs. women's/girls'/infants') and the garment construction. Misclassification between lines such as 4203104030 and 4203104060 can result in duty underpayments or overpayments, so detailed tech packs and size-range documentation are advisable.
