The general rate of duty will be 2.7% ad valorem.

   The applicable subheading for the purse will be 4202.31.6000, HTSUS, which provides for “Trunks, suitcases, vanity cases, including those without a handle: Articles of a kind normally carried in the pocket or in the handbag: with outer surface of leather, of composition leather or of patent leather: Other.” The rate of duty will be 8% ad valorem.

Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.
