If you import leather jackets, knowing the HS code and import duties is essential to costing your orders accurately. This guide explains the basics. (This is general information, not legal or tax advice — always confirm current rates with your customs authority or a licensed customs broker.)
The HS Code for Leather Jackets
Leather garments generally fall under HS heading 4203.10 — "articles of apparel of leather or of composition leather." Most countries add further national subheadings (for men's/women's, etc.), so your customs broker will confirm the exact code for your market.
Typical Import Duties
Duty rates vary by destination country and trade agreement. Many markets apply roughly 4–12% on leather apparel, plus import VAT/GST on top. Preferential trade agreements (and schemes like GSP for goods from developing countries) can reduce or zero-rate the duty — worth checking for your country.
| Item | Typical HS heading |
|---|---|
| Leather jackets & coats | 4203.10 |
| Leather trousers | 4203.10 |
| Leather gloves | 4203.29 |
| Leather belts | 4203.30 |
