The long answer is surprisingly complicated; while in theory NAFTA eliminated all import duties from Mexico to the US in order to open trade between the two nations, in practice it had a long phase-in period and a number of exceptions carved out for various types of products in various situations. I don't see anything about leather specifically, but like any international law NAFTA is very complicated. In particular, if Mexico is not actually the country of origin you may still have to pay duties.
If you intend to conduct large-scale business importing goods from Mexico, you would be wise to consult a lawyer about the specific regulations and duties (if any) on the goods you intend to import. But if you only have a few items to import and no intention of selling them, you can likely get immediate release from customs to bring those items with you.
