Good knowledge of what is included in each chapter comes in handy for this question. It is also important to know that "vinyl" is not a textile and for the purposes of the HTSUS, some vinyl products are classified in Chapter 39.
Section VIII includes Chapters 41 through 43, which address raw hides, leather, articles of leather, travel goods, backpacks and similar goods. Articles in these chapters may require permits and approval of the Fish & Wildlife Service or be subject to quotas if imported from certain countries. When classifying goods in Chapter 42, be very careful to read the type of material and articles contained in each heading and subheading.
Chapter 41 covers raw and prepared animal and reptile hides and skins, patent leather and composition leather. Pay close attention to Chapter Note 1 (c) explaining certain exclusions and inclusions of goods in Chapter 43. Clearance of certain products must be made at designated FWS ports. FWS enforces regulations pertaining to the articles made from endangered species. Click HERE to learn more about Fish & Wildlife requirements.
