Important Considerations & Recommendations:

• Material Composition: The primary material of the hanging storage bag is the key determinant. If it's mostly leather, use 4202.91.9090. If it's another material, use 4202.99.9000. If it's a small accessory, consider 4205.00.8000.
• Intended Use: How is the bag used? Is it for travel (suggesting 4202 codes) or general storage (potentially 4205)?
• Detailed Description: Provide a more detailed description of the bag (e.g., dimensions, features, lining material) to help refine the classification.
• Invoice & Documentation: Ensure the invoice accurately reflects the material composition and intended use of the bag.
• Customs Ruling: If there is any ambiguity, consider obtaining a binding customs ruling from the relevant authorities to ensure accurate classification and avoid potential penalties.
• Tariff Changes: Be aware of the upcoming tariff changes on April 2, 2025, which will increase the additive tariff from 25% to 30%.
