Vietnam origin · HTS candidates
Ladies handbag import duty from Vietnam
Find US HTS candidates for ladies handbag from Vietnam, then check the current MFN and Chapter 99 stack. Vietnam-origin goods typically avoid Section 301, but AD/CVD and other Chapter 99 duties may still apply.
Quick answer
4202.22.40.30
At a $10,000 customs value, the current Vietnam-origin total rate is about 19.9% ($1,990).
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.
Vietnam origin context
Vietnam houses a deep cluster of synthetic-leather and textile handbag manufacturers around Ho Chi Minh and Long An, supplying the mid-market US retail channel. Vietnam-origin handbags under HTS 4202.22 / 4202.92 skip the Section 301 9903.88.x stacks that hit China-origin lines (cumulative ~17.6%-32.5% depending on outer-surface material). AD/CVD watch is currently quiet for VN-origin handbags, but the textile-component anti-circumvention investigation around Cambodia spillover is worth monitoring before quoting large orders.

This page provides candidates and reference math, not a CBP ruling. CBP makes the binding classification and duty determination at entry; AD/CVD, exclusions, and product facts still need separate review.

FAQ
How do I find the US HTS code for ladies handbag from Vietnam?
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 Vietnam and China origins.
Does Vietnam origin trigger Section 301?
Typically no. Section 301 (9903.88.x) is China-origin only. If processing in Vietnam does not amount to substantial transformation, CBP can still rule the goods China-origin at entry. AD/CVD and Section 232 may apply to Vietnam independently.
