Explanation
The requester called the two articles wallets. CBP considered them card cases for tariff purposes.
CBP placed the card cases under heading 4202, which names wallets, purses and similar containers, on the line for articles of a kind normally carried in the pocket or the handbag with an outer surface of sheeting of plastics, of reinforced or laminated plastics. The cases have an outer surface of plastic sheeting reinforced with a textile backing.
Does this apply to your product?
It likely does if you can answer yes to each of these:
- Is it a card case designed to attach to a smartphone magnetically?
- Is the outer surface plastic sheeting reinforced with a textile backing?
- Does it hold cards, paper currency, identification and similar items?
A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
