What decides the code
A wallet is a pocket article under heading 4202, classified by its outer surface material. Leather goes to 4202.31.60.00 and plastic sheeting goes to 4202.32.20.00.
- Outer surface material decides the subheading. Leather or composition leather leads to 4202.31.60.00.
- An outer surface of plastic sheeting, such as PU faux leather, leads to 4202.32.20.00.
- The article must be of a kind normally carried in the pocket or handbag to fall in these subheadings.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a leather wallet under 4202.32.20.00 is wrong because that line covers plastic sheeting, not leather.
- Classifying a PU wallet under 4202.31.60.00 is wrong because the outer surface is plastic sheeting, not leather.
- Treating a wallet as a handbag under the handbag lines of heading 4202 is wrong because wallets are pocket articles, not handbags.
