U.S. imports of plastic sheeting & textile outer surface pocket & handbag articles (HS 420232) totaled $33.2M in April 2026, traded with 66 countries.
Importers of Plastic Sheeting & Textile Outer Surface Pocket & Handbag Articles paid $7.6M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 23% on $32.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataSmall carry articles — wallets, card cases, key fobs, and similar items — with outer surfaces of plastic sheeting or textile materials are classified across multiple US tariff lines that differentiate by plastic type (reinforced/laminated vs. plain sheeting) and textile fiber content (cotton, man-made fibers, silk, vegetable fibers). China leads US imports under this subheading, with Cambodia and Vietnam also significant sources. Goods of Chinese origin in this category are subject to Section 301 tariffs, a factor that has accelerated sourcing shifts toward Southeast Asian alternatives.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The US schedule distinguishes reinforced or laminated plastic sheeting (4202321000) from plain plastic sheeting (4202322000) for pocket articles. Reinforced or laminated PVC — where the plastic is bonded to a fabric backing or otherwise structurally reinforced — falls under the former. Plain, unsupported PVC sheeting falls under the latter. The manufacturer's material specification sheet is the key supporting document for making this distinction at entry.
Section 301 tariffs on Chinese-origin goods have significantly increased landed costs for wallets, card cases, and similar articles sourced from China. As a result, many importers have shifted production to Cambodia, Vietnam, and India, which are not subject to Section 301 measures. However, CBP scrutinizes country-of-origin claims carefully in this product category, particularly where Chinese inputs are processed in third countries, so robust origin documentation is essential.
