Analysis
Subheading 4202.29 covers other, within heading 4202. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 4 US tariff lines below it are national.
The spread of 16.7 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 20%, applies to 4202.29.90 (other: other).
None of its 4 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 3.3% to 20% with a median of 6.55%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 4202.29.10 for of materials (other than leather, composition leather, sheeting of… (5.3%), 4202.29.20 for of materials (other than leather, composition leather, sheeting of… (3.3%), 4202.29.50 for of materials (other than leather, composition leather, sheeting of… (7.8%) and 4202.29.90 for other: other (20%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Other Leather and Allied Product Manufacturing (31699). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
