About leather; composition leather with a basis of leather or leather fibre, in slabs, sheets or strip, whether or not in rolls

HS code 411510 covers the production and trade of composition leather, a material made by combining leather or leather fibre with other substances. This industry plays a crucial role in the global leather supply chain, providing a versatile and cost-effective alternative to traditional leather products. Composition leather finds widespread application in the manufacturing of various goods, from footwear and apparel to automotive interiors and furniture, making it an important contributor to several key economic sectors.

Production process

The production of composition leather typically involves a multi-step process. First, leather or leather fibre is obtained, often as a byproduct of the meat industry. This material is then combined with various binders, fillers, and other additives to create a homogeneous composition. The mixture is then pressed and calendered into thin sheets or slabs, which can be further processed into the desired shapes and sizes.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of composition leather include leather or leather fibre, as well as a range of binding agents, fillers, and other chemicals. Specialized machinery, such as calenders and presses, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to ensure consistent quality and efficient production.

Production outputs

The primary output of the composition leather industry is the finished product, which can be used in a variety of applications. These include the production of 640320 footwear, 420500 apparel accessories, 940161 furniture, and 870821 automotive interiors, among others. The versatility of composition leather makes it a valuable material for industries that require a cost-effective and durable alternative to traditional leather.
