What decides the code
A dog harness of nylon is dog equipment classified under heading 4201, specifically 4201.00.30.00 for dog leashes, collars, muzzles, harnesses and similar dog equipment.
- The product is a harness for a dog, which places it in heading 4201 as saddlery and harness for any animal.
- The article is dog equipment, so it falls under 4201.00.30.00 rather than other lines in heading 4201.
- The nylon material does not change the code because heading 4201 covers saddlery and harness of any material.
Common mistakes
- Classifying the nylon harness under 6307.90 as another made up textile article is wrong because heading 4201 specifically names harnesses for animals.
- Putting the harness in 4202 or 4203 as a bag or clothing accessory is wrong because it is animal equipment, not a personal article.
- Using 3926.90 for a plastic or coated harness is wrong when the item is a dog harness, since heading 4201 covers harness for any animal of any material.
