Reading code 4205

As a 4-digit heading it groups a whole product family; 6 and 8-digit codes underneath it get more specific. Remember: you can never invent a shorter code by truncating a longer one — only codes that exist in the official tariff are valid.

Handbags, wallets, suitcases, belts, and other leather and travel goods at 18% GST (some below value thresholds at 12%).
