Last updated: April 2026 dataPlastic-sheeted and textile-surfaced handbags represent the high-volume, mass-market tier of the handbag import trade, with outer surfaces of PVC, polyurethane sheeting, nylon, canvas, or similar materials. Classification hinges on the outer surface material: a bag with a woven textile exterior falls here rather than under the leather subheading, even if it has leather trim or handles. Section 301 tariffs have applied to many goods in this category originating from China, which has historically been a dominant production source, making tariff engineering and origin diversification active considerations for importers.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Classification is based on the outer surface of the body of the bag, not the handles or trim. A bag with a textile exterior is classified under the textile-surface subheading regardless of leather accessories, provided the textile constitutes the predominant outer surface area.
A material composition certificate from the manufacturer specifying the outer surface construction — whether it is a plastic sheeting (e.g., PVC or PU film) or a woven/knit textile — is the most effective supporting document. CBP may also request a physical sample or laboratory analysis if the surface is ambiguous.
