What 15 includes

• This Industry Division includes dressing and dyeing of fur and fabricating the leather into products for final consumption.
• It also includes the manufacture of man-made leather products from materials such as imitation leathers or leather substitutes. Examples of products are rubber footwear, textile luggage etc. The products made from leather substitutes are included here since they are made in ways similar to those in which leather products are made (e.g. luggage) and both leather and imitation leather products are often produced in the same establishment.
