U.S. imports of chamois leather (including combination chamois) (HS 411410) totaled $288K in April 2026, traded with 10 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataChamois leather is produced by oil-tanning — typically with fish or marine oils — which gives it exceptional softness, absorbency, and lint-free wiping properties that distinguish it from conventionally tanned leathers. Combination chamois uses a blend of oil-tanning and other processes to approximate these characteristics at lower cost. Mexico leads US supply, followed by Turkey and Italy, reflecting both proximity-driven manufacturing and European artisan production. The entire heading consolidates into a single US tariff line (4114100000), so classification disputes typically center on whether a product genuinely meets the oil-tanned chamois standard versus being a sueded or buffed leather misrepresented as chamois.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Authentic chamois leather is produced by oil-tanning — impregnating the hide with fish or other oils and working it mechanically — which creates its characteristic softness and absorbency. CBP may request tanning process documentation to distinguish genuine chamois from sueded or split leathers that resemble chamois in appearance but were produced by different methods.
Combination chamois is leather that has been partly oil-tanned and partly processed by another method (such as chrome tanning) to achieve chamois-like properties. It classifies in the same heading as pure chamois leather, but importers should retain tanning records to support the classification if questioned at entry.
