Why India, and why now, for Saudi Arabian brands.
Saudi Arabia applies the GCC unified rate of 5% to leather jackets and leather handbags, on the CIF value, plus 15% VAT. There is no preferential agreement with India yet; India–GCC free trade negotiations were launched in February 2026.
Final treatment is determined by the importer and relevant customs authority after HS classification and origin review. Market information last reviewed 15 September 2026.The 5% GCC rate is the same for every non-GCC supplier, so the comparison is on product and documentation, not duty. India and the GCC launched FTA negotiations in February 2026; a supplier already qualified on origin is ready when it lands.
Leather product HS codes for Saudi Arabia.
India’s eight-digit HSN or ITC(HS) code is an export-side classification; Saudi Arabia uses its own national tariff subdivisions for import clearance.
The directory covers eight product groups. The duty table below currently provides the jacket and handbag lines. Other national codes and rates must be checked against the actual material and construction; a missing rate does not mean zero duty.

Import duty and tariff lines for leather goods in Saudi Arabia.
Leather jackets ship under HS 4203.10 and leather handbags under HS 4202.21. The six-digit subheading is the same in every customs schedule; Saudi Arabia extends it to its own national tariff line, and that line sets the rate and the origin rule the importer has to meet.
