Ladies handbag import duty from China
Compare US HTS candidates for ladies handbags from China, including material splits that can change the rate materially.
Quick answer
4202.22.40.30
At a $10,000 customs value, the current China-origin total rate is about 44.9% ($4,490).
Classification risk & HTS split
Ladies handbags split by predominant outer-surface material: leather goes to HTS 4202.21 (8-10% MFN), plastic sheeting or textile-faced moves to 4202.22 (17.6% — the dominant subheading for mass-market fashion bags), other plastics to 4202.92 (17.6%). The single largest classification error for handbags is treating coated-textile or PU-leather as if it were leather; ASTM material reports or independent lab measurements often resolve the question.

FAQ
How do I find the US HTS code for ladies handbag from China?
Start from the product name or local HS code, anchor on HS6, then compare US HTS candidate descriptions. Ladies handbag can split after HS6 by material, use, construction, or function; the applicable Chapter 99 overlays differ between China and China origins.
Does China origin trigger Section 301?
Yes. Section 301 (9903.88.x) stacks on top of MFN for China-origin goods; the active subheading list is maintained by USTR.
