What decides the code
A dog leash is dog equipment of heading 4201, and a nylon leash is classified under 4201.00.30.00.
- The article is a leash for a dog, which is dog equipment named in heading 4201, so the leash is classified there.
- The leash is made of nylon, a textile material, and heading 4201 covers saddlery and harness for any animal of any material.
- A leash sold with a matching collar stays in 4201.00.30.00 because both are dog equipment of the same heading.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a nylon dog leash in 6307 as another made up textile article is wrong because heading 4201 specifically names dog leashes.
- Classifying a dog leash in 4201.00.60 as leather saddlery is wrong when the leash is nylon rather than leather.
- Classifying a dog leash in 3926 as an article of plastics is wrong when the leash is textile nylon, not plastic.
