Last updated: April 2026 dataEquestrian and working-animal equipment — saddles, bridles, leads, muzzles, saddle cloths, saddlebags, and dog coats — falls here regardless of whether the goods are made from leather, nylon, synthetic webbing, or other materials, making material composition irrelevant to classification. The breadth of this heading means that importers of pet accessories, equestrian gear, and draft-animal equipment all converge on the same SITC code, and product-specific safety or labeling standards (such as those for dog harnesses or equestrian helmets) may apply independently of customs classification. Section 301 tariff exposure is a relevant consideration for goods sourced from China, which has been a significant producer of lower-cost harness and pet-accessory items.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
No — this SITC heading explicitly covers saddlery and harness of any material. Whether a dog lead is made of leather, nylon, or chain, or a saddle is constructed from synthetic materials rather than traditional leather, the classification remains the same. Material composition becomes relevant only when determining the applicable HTS tariff line at the 10-digit level for US import entry.
While US Customs and Border Protection handles tariff classification, product safety for pet accessories may be reviewed under the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act if the items are marketed for children, or under general CPSC jurisdiction for hazardous materials. There is no single mandatory federal certification for standard dog leads, but importers should verify that materials comply with applicable chemical safety standards and that labeling meets country-of-origin marking requirements.
