Importers of Trunks, Suitcases & Travel Cases with Leather or Patent Leather Outer Surface paid $994K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 22% on $4.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataLeather-surfaced hard and soft luggage — including trunks, suitcases, vanity cases, executive cases, briefcases, and school satchels — occupies the premium tier of the travel goods market and is classified by outer surface material as the primary criterion. Full-grain, composition, and patent leather variants all fall here, distinguishing them from the far larger plastic- and textile-surfaced luggage trade. Importers of luxury leather luggage should be attentive to country-of-origin marking requirements and, where applicable, Section 301 exposure for goods with Chinese-origin components.

Yes — classification is determined by the outer surface material, not the lining. A briefcase with a leather exterior classifies under the leather-surface subheading regardless of the interior fabric or material.
Each article must be classified individually based on its own outer surface material. Mixed shipments should be itemized on the commercial invoice by material type, with separate line entries for leather-surfaced and non-leather-surfaced pieces to ensure correct duty assessment and avoid blanket misclassification.
