Last updated: July 2026 dataLuggage and similar travel containers with outer surfaces of materials other than leather, plastics, or textiles — such as aluminum, wood, or vulcanized fiber — fall under a single 10-digit line (4202190000) in the US tariff schedule. Mexico and Canada are the leading suppliers, with China, Germany, and Thailand also contributing meaningfully to import volumes. Importers should note that outer-surface material is the primary classification determinant; misidentifying the shell material is a common source of classification disputes at entry. Goods originating in Mexico or Canada may benefit from USMCA preferential treatment, subject to applicable rules of origin.

The critical factor is the outer surface material. Heading 4202.11 covers leather or composition leather outer surfaces; 4202.12 covers plastics or textile outer surfaces; and 4202.19 captures all other materials — including aluminum, wood, and vulcanized fiber. When a case has a composite shell, CBP generally looks to the material that gives the article its essential character or predominates by surface area.
Goods classified under 4202190000 that originate in China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should verify the current Section 301 list status and applicable product exclusions before entry, as coverage and exclusion availability change periodically. Consulting a licensed customs broker is advisable for origin-specific duty planning.
