Heading 4202: cases, bags, wallets and similar containers
Trunks, suitcases, vanity cases, executive-cases, briefcases, school satchels, spectacle cases, binocular cases, camera cases, musical instrument cases, gun cases, holsters and similar containers; travelling-bags, insulated food or beverages bags, toilet bags, rucksacks, handbags, shopping-bags, wallets, purses, map-cases, cigarette-cases, tobacco-pouches, tool bags, sports bags, bottle-cases, jewellery boxes, powder boxes, cutlery cases and similar containers, of leather or of composition leather, of sheeting of plastics, of textile materials, of vulcanised fibre or of paperboard, or wholly or mainly covered with such materials or with paper
Composition leather is only the material of heading 4115, made with leather or leather fibre (chapter 41, note 3), so imitation leather of plastic is not leather here. A textile coated with plastics whose outer layer looks like plastic sheeting counts as plastic sheeting (explanatory notes to the CN, 4202 12 11 and 4202 12 19).
| Code | Official text | Applies when |
|---|---|---|
| Articles of a kind normally carried in the pocket or in the handbag | ||
| HS 4202 31CN 4202 31 00 | With outer surface of leather or of composition leather | The outside is leather, or composition leather made with leather fibre |
| HS 4202 32 | With outer surface of sheeting of plastics or of textile materials | The outside is plastic sheeting or textile, imitation leather of plastic included |
| CN 4202 32 10 | Of sheeting of plastics | The outside is plastic sheeting, or a textile coated with plastics that looks like it |

Heading 4202 takes handbags, shopping bags, travelling and sports bags, rucksacks, wallets and purses only of the materials it names: leather or composition leather, sheeting of plastics, textile materials, vulcanised fibre or paperboard, or wholly or mainly covered with these or with paper. Of another material, such as moulded plastic, metal or wood, they are classified elsewhere: the Commission classified a small bag of moulded silicone in 3926 90 97, as other articles of plastics (Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2179).
The €3 customs duty per item
Since 1 July 2026 the EU charges €3 customs duty per item in a parcel worth up to €150. Goods with the same tariff code are one item.
How many digits of the code count depends on the declaration: 6 on H7, 8 on H6, and 10 on a full H1 declaration, where origin and description also separate items.
Check the code before you file it
This page shows the lines of the tariff and what leads to each. It is not a ruling: a binding one, called a BTI, comes only from a customs authority. Compare the official text with your product, and look the code up in the EU's TARIC database. You are responsible for the code on your declaration.
