Mens wallet Hs Code

Mens wallet harmonized system code

Product Overview Men’s wallets classified under HS Code 420231 are defined as compact, portable containers primarily constructed from leather or synthetic materials designed for the organized storage and secure transport of currency, identification documents, credit cards, and related personal items. These wallets typically feature multiple compartments, including card slots, bill compartments, coin pouches, and sometimes RFID-blocking layers to enhance security. Physical specifications generally range from 10 to 15 cm in length and 8 to 12 cm in width when closed, with processing involving precision cutting, stitching, and finishing techniques to ensure durability and aesthetic consistency. Under HS Code 420231, subcategories include wallets with and without coin compartments, bifold and trifold designs, and specialized variants featuring additional security elements. Commercially, these wallets serve primarily in retail and personal accessory markets, with ancillary applications in corporate gifting and promotional merchandise sectors. Their market positioning emphasizes functional design, material quality, and compliance with consumer protection standards, thereby offering a competitive advantage in durability and security compared to generic storage accessories. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The full HS Code 420231 is structured hierarchically as follows: Chapter 42 (Articles of Leather; Saddlery and Harness; Travel Goods, Handbags and Similar Containers), Heading 4202 (Trunks, Suitcases, Vanity Cases, Executive Cases, Briefcases, and Similar Containers), Subheading 420231 (Articles of a kind normally carried in the pocket or handbag, of leather or composition leather, specifically men’s wallets). This classification is applied based on the product’s material composition and intended use as a personal carrying accessory. Trade considerations include packaging in protective, moisture-resistant materials such as polyethylene wrapping and export cartons with adequate cushioning to prevent deformation during transit. Preservation standards mandate compliance with ISO 9001 quality management systems and adherence to international customs documentation requirements, including accurate product descriptions and origin declarations. Shipping protocols typically employ palletized container shipments under standard Incoterms to ensure traceability and risk mitigation. Quality standards emphasize measured attributes such as material tensile strength, stitch density per centimeter, and finish uniformity, supporting compliance with WTO regulations and facilitating seamless customs clearance.
