Chapter 42 classification notes
IP enforcement is heavy in this chapter — luxury brands actively monitor for counterfeits. CITES restrictions apply to exotic leather (crocodile, snake, lizard). Duty rates typically 5-20%.
Frequent misclassification in this chapter
Bags with textile outer surface belong in 4202.92, not 4202.21 (leather). The outer surface material determines classification, not internal construction.
Classification certainty
The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
