Introduction

Each leather bracelet that enters another country requires the proper HS code. Using the incorrect leather bracelet HS code has the potential to hold up the shipment, increase duties, and run into complications at customs. Drawing from our experience in exporting, we use the HS code 7117900000 for leather bracelets. This code includes any bracelet made from leather, PU leather, or even microfiber leather.

In this guide, you will discover the meaning of the code, what happens if the leather is changed to another type of material, and what is important to determine before shipment.

What Is the HS Code for Leather Bracelets?

The HS code used for the leather fashion bracelets in this guide is 7117900000.

HS stands for Harmonized System. Customs offices use these codes to classify goods, apply duty rates, and process declarations. Based on our export experience, we have used this code for the leather fashion bracelets we supply as a leather bracelet supplier.

These bracelets can use genuine leather, PU leather, or microfiber leather. Customs looks at the product as a whole. The name of the main material does not decide the code on its own.

The code has 10 digits in the relevant export classification system. The first six digits are the international part, and the last four are added by the individual system. It is not a universal code for every country, so check it before you ship.

Does the Leather Material Affect the HS Code?

We have encountered bracelets made from genuine leather, PU, or microfiber leather classified under the same code 7117900000 in our exports.

Two examples show how this works:

A braided leather bracelet made from genuine leather with a metallic clasp.
A PU leather bracelet combined with some decorative metal parts.

It should be emphasized that the classification isn’t dependent only on the material utilized. Customs officers are also concerned with the design of the bracelet and the construction and function of the product, which are to be defined in accordance with the respective rules in the country of importation.

Given that these examples can rather be regarded as experience than a customs ruling, it should be noted that the code for the product may be different for another item containing leather, e.g., a belt or a wallet. Describe the bracelet clearly, and mention details like the clasp type or the difference between microfiber and PU leather.

Is HS Code 7117900000 the Same for Every Country?

No. The HS code has two layers:

Code level	Digits	Who sets it
HS code	6	International standard, shared by most countries
National tariff code	8 to 10	Each country adds its own digits

117900000 is the 10-digit code in the relevant export classification system. The national classification or extension in your destination country could be different.

You should check the official customs tariff database of your destination country or consult with a customs broker before shipping your goods. We do not include any country codes in this article because different markets might have different codes. We, as jewelry manufacturers based in China, have witnessed instances where buyers simply use the code from their previous invoices only to find out that they do not match their own country’s system in the end.

How to Confirm the Correct HS Code Before Shipping

Follow these three steps before every shipment:

1. Prepare the product details. Include the description of the design of the bracelet, material, how it is made, and for what purpose. Specify whether there are metal clasps or charms or not.

2. Determine the tariff schedule of the country to which you plan to import. It is better to refer to the customs website.

3. Clarify if something is not clear. You can ask a customs broker or customs service about the classification.

Suppliers can provide you with the description of the product and codes in the export documents; however, you should still clarify what code you should use for your import declaration. It will be much easier to perform step 1 if you know what types of leather you order.

What Information Should You Ask Your Supplier For?

Ask your supplier for these details before you ship:

A clear product description
Material composition and metal components
Country of origin
Export documents and the HS code used for export

These details help you check the correct import classification and prepare your customs documents. Clear specifications matter most when you order several styles at once or request a custom jewelry design. Share your chosen leather bracelet designs and materials in writing, so both sides use the same information.

Conclusion

The leather bracelet HS code we use for the leather fashion bracelets in this guide is 7117900000, based on our export experience. It applies to genuine, PU, and microfiber leather styles. Before you ship, verify the import tariff code for your destination country through its official customs database or a customs broker.
