Chapter 63

[Tikam Rawat]

We are manufacturer / exporter of all type of handicraft items including textiles i.e. Table Cover, Cushion Cover, Napkins, Table Mats, Apron, Bags made out of all type of fabrics other than leather which are covered under chapter 63

In these days customs view is that the Bags should be covered under chapter 42 (ARTICLES OF LEATHER; SADDLERY AND HARNESS, TRAVEL GOODS, HAND BAGS AND SIMILAR CONTAINERS; ARTICLES OF ANIMAL GUT) instead of 63 (OTHER MADE UP TEXTILE ARTICLES; SETS; WORN CLOTHING AND WORN TEXTILE ARTICLES; RAGS)

Please confirm that the Bags made out of Cotton Fabric will be covered under chapter 63 with a documentry evidence to protest with customs

Thanks / Tikam Rawat

 

 

AI Summary

Textile Handicraft Manufacturer Seeks Clarification on Customs Classification for Bags: Chapter 42 vs. Chapter 63 Debate A manufacturer/exporter of textile handicrafts, including bags, seeks clarification on customs classification. The issue arises from customs categorizing bags under Chapter 42, typically for leather goods, rather than Chapter 63, which covers textile articles. A respondent suggests that bags made from textile materials should fall under Chapter 6305, but the original poster clarifies that Chapter 6305 pertains to packing bags, not carry bags. The respondent then advises reviewing Chapter 4202, which includes textile bags alongside leather items. The conversation highlights the need for precise classification to address customs concerns.
