Leather or composition-leather clothing accessories
Excluding gloves, belts, shoulder straps, footwear, headwear and Chapter 95 goods
This is a complete 8-digit customs code. Exports and Intrastat use it as it is. For an import into the EU, pick a 10-digit line below.
This code covers accessories for clothing when they are made of leather or composition leather. It does not cover gloves or mittens, belts or shoulder straps, footwear or headwear and their parts, or goods such as shin guards and fencing masks. In the tariff, composition leather is material made from leather or leather fibres pressed into sheets; goods whose outer surface is plastic sheeting or textile, often sold as vegan leather, are classified under other codes.

Before you use the code
Check the facts that sit outside the code
The code can be right while what you pay still changes, because of where the goods come from, when they arrive, or extra EU measures.
- The product and its form Check that your product really matches this description, including what it is made of and the form it arrives in.
- Country of origin Trade agreements, sanctions and extra measures can change the treatment of the very same code.
- Current tariff measures Check today's rate, any restrictions or licences, and the quantity customs asks for, with Toldstyrelsen or TARIC.
On an EU import declaration
Pick the 10-digit line that matches the goods.
2 import lines
When these goods are imported into the EU, the declaration needs a 10-digit code. Under 4203 40 00 the EU tariff has 2 lines, each with its own wording.
You or your customs agent pick the line whose wording fits the goods; the last line, "Other", covers what none of the specific wordings describe.
Some lines depend on what the goods will be used for and need customs authorisation; matching the wording alone does not give a lower rate.
- Match the whole wording A line is its own wording plus the grouping text above it. Read both before you settle on one.
- Check the intended use On some lines the lower rate belongs to what the goods will be used for, not to the goods alone.
- Confirm the authorisation Where the lower rate carries conditions, customs asks for an authorisation before it can be used.

Exports from the EU and Intrastat normally use the 8-digit code as it is.
