4203.10.40 - Other

This HTS category, "Other," under 4203.10.40, encompasses articles of apparel made from leather or composition leather that are not specifically covered by more detailed subheadings. This includes a wide range of garments such as trousers, skirts, dresses, and vests, provided they are primarily constructed from leather or its composite counterparts. The focus remains on apparel items that do not fit into pre-defined categories within Chapter 42.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 4203.10.20.00, which exclusively covers apparel made from reptile leather. Therefore, any leather apparel not derived from reptiles would fall under this "Other" classification. The material of the garment, specifically whether it is leather, composition leather, or another material entirely, is the primary determinant for classification within this section.

Within this category, further distinctions are made. There are subcategories for "Coats and jackets" and "Other." This hierarchical structure allows for precise classification of leather apparel based on its specific type. "Coats and jackets" will, as the name suggests, encompass outerwear of this nature, while the "Other" subcategory will capture all remaining leather apparel items not falling into the coat or jacket classification. This ensures a comprehensive and accurate tariff coding for all leather clothing articles.
