What decides the code
A crossbody bag is a handbag with a shoulder strap under heading 4202, classified by the outer surface material.
- Outer surface material decides the line. PU faux leather is sheeting of plastics and takes 4202.22.15.00.
- Nylon is a textile material of man-made fibers and takes 4202.22.81.00.
- The bag is a handbag with a shoulder strap, so it falls in the handbag subheading of heading 4202, not the travel bag or backpack lines.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a nylon crossbody bag in 4202.22.15.00 is wrong because that line covers outer surfaces of plastics, not textile.
- Classifying the bag as a backpack or knapsack is wrong because a crossbody bag is carried on one shoulder and is a handbag.
- Classifying a PU bag by its textile backing is wrong because the outer surface is sheeting of plastics.
