Codes by variant
| Variant | HTS code | General duty | Est. from China |
|---|---|---|---|
| Genuine leather | 4203.10.40.30 | 6% | 18.5% |
- 4203.10.40.30: Articles of apparel / Coats and jackets / Men's and boys'
What decides the code
A men's or boys' jacket made of genuine leather is classified under heading 4203 as an article of apparel of leather, in subheading 4203.10.40.30.
- The outer shell is genuine leather, which places the jacket in heading 4203 rather than the apparel headings for textile garments.
- The garment is a coat or jacket, which leads to the coats and jackets subheading within heading 4203.
- The jacket is cut for men or boys, which leads to the men's and boys' line under 4203.10.40.30.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a leather jacket in 6201, the heading for men's woven textile coats and jackets, is wrong because the shell is leather, not woven fabric.
- Using 4203.29 for leather clothing is wrong because that subheading covers gloves, mittens and mitts, not jackets.
- Putting a leather jacket in 6210 is wrong because that heading covers garments of textile fabrics coated or covered with plastics or rubber, not leather shells.
