HS Code 4201Saddlery and harness for any animal (including traces, leads, knee pads, muzzles, saddle cloths, saddle bags, dog coats and the like) of any material

What HS code 4201 covers

Heading 4201 is about equipment for animals. The wording is wide on purpose. It names saddlery and harness for any animal, and it adds a list of examples. The list is not complete, as the words "and the like" show.

Items named in the heading include:

The words "of any material" matter. The heading is in the leather chapter, but a lead made of nylon or a saddle cloth made of cotton can still sit here. The test is what the item is for, not what it is made of. Think of it as leather equipment for animals, plus the same gear in other materials.

• Traces and leads
• Knee pads for animals
• Muzzles
• Saddle cloths
• Saddle bags
• Dog coats

HS code 420100: saddlery and harness in one line

Under this heading there is only one line to choose. Customs forms may write it as 420100 or in the dotted style 4201.00. Both mean the same thing, so you can search for either.

Some buyers and brokers look for an HSN code 4201 or an HTS 4201 entry instead. These labels are used by different customs systems, but the first four digits point to the same heading. Always check the exact wording that your own country uses before you file.

HS code for dog coats, saddle bags and dog leash and muzzle

People often ask where everyday pet and riding items go. The heading text answers most of these questions directly, because these items are named in it.

Dog coats are listed by name. Dog leads are covered by the word "leads". Muzzles have their own mention. Saddle bags and saddle cloths are also named, so they are not pushed into the travel goods heading.

If an item is made for an animal to wear, pull or carry, start with 4201. If it is made for a person to wear or carry, look at the other headings below.
