HS Code 420232

As published in the USITC HTS (data as of 2026-07-05), the base MFN rate for 420232 averages about 11.2%, and Section 301 China surcharges apply on covered lines (up to +25%), bringing the effective China-origin rate to roughly 36.2% (averaged across 8 national tariff lines). This is a research estimate — the final rate depends on your full 8-10 digit HTS line; verify on hts.usitc.gov.

HS code 420232 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Trunks, suitcases, vanity cases, executivecases, briefcases, school satchels, spectacle cases, binocular cases, camera cases, musical instrument cases, gun cases, holsters and similar containers; travellingbags, insulated food or beverages bags, toilet bags, rucksacks, handbags, shoppingbags, wallets, purses, mapcases, cigarettecases, tobaccopouches, tool bags, sports bags, bottlecases, 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 : Articles of a kind normally carried in the pocket or in the handbag : With outer surface of sheeting of plastics or of textile materials". The first two digits (42) are the chapter — Articles of leather; saddlery; travel goods, handbags — and digits 3-4 (4202) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 420232 include plastic wallet, fabric wallet, nylon card holder, textile coin purse, synthetic wallet and similar items matching with outer surface of sheeting of plastics or of…. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

The first 6 digits (420232) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.

Yes at the 6-digit level. India's HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) uses the same WCO base, so HSN 420232 covers the same "with outer surface of sheeting of plastics or of…" scope; India then extends it to 8 digits for GST and customs. Check the Indian Customs tariff (CBIC) for the full national line.
