It qualifies for HTS 4202.99.10.00 as a camera case of materials wholly covered with plastics, separate from textile or leather holsters.

Import Tips

• Check for prohibited fur linings per chapter notes, which would redirect to heading 4303
• Use HTS advisory rulings for hybrid materials to preempt valuation disputes
