4203.30.00.00 - Belts and bandoliers with or without buckles

This HTS classification, 4203.30.00.00, specifically covers belts and bandoliers, whether or not they are equipped with buckles. These items are typically constructed from leather or composition leather and are designed to be worn around the waist or as a strap over the shoulder for carrying items. The defining characteristic is their function as a belt or bandolier, distinct from other forms of apparel or accessories.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 4203.10 pertains to articles of apparel such as jackets, trousers, and skirts made from leather or composition leather. The sibling category 4203.40 encompasses other clothing accessories like scarves, hats, and ties. Therefore, 4203.30.00.00 is uniquely focused on the specific items of belts and bandoliers, excluding general apparel or broader accessory categories.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 4203.30.00.00 is determined by the item's form and function as a belt or bandolier. The presence or absence of a buckle, while mentioned in the description, does not alter the classification if the item otherwise fits the definition of a belt or bandolier.
