Last updated: July 2026 dataSmall personal carry articles — such as wallets, card cases, and key holders — made from materials other than leather, plastics, or textiles are captured here, including paper-covered variants over plastic (4202391000), wood (4202392000), and other substrates (4202395000), plus a broad residual line (4202399000). China leads US imports, with the United Kingdom and Mexico also notable sources — an unusual supplier mix that reflects both high-volume novelty goods from Asia and specialty or branded items from Western markets. The paper-covered subdivisions are relevant for decorative or gift-oriented pocket accessories where paper lamination is the defining surface.

The residual line captures pocket and handbag articles whose outer surface does not fit leather, plastic sheeting, textile, or paper-covered categories — for example, items surfaced with metal mesh, cork, or unconventional composite materials. Importers with products in this space should document the outer surface material thoroughly, as CBP may challenge residual classifications if a more specific provision arguably applies.
Yes — the US schedule distinguishes paper-covered articles by the underlying structural material (plastic, wood, or other), and duty rates can differ across these lines. Importers should confirm the substrate material with the manufacturer and ensure the invoice and packing list reflect both the paper covering and the underlying material to support accurate classification and avoid post-entry corrections.
