Leather trouser belts and fashion belts are classified under 4205.00. The belt buckle, whether of base metal, precious metal, or plastic, is an integral component and does not change the belt's classification. Canvas and fabric belts with leather trim: classified by the predominant material. Webbing belts are textile articles (6217 or 6307). Safety harnesses (for fall protection) are 6307.90 as other made-up textile articles, regardless of whether leather reinforcement is used. Watch straps made of leather are 9113.10, not 4205. The distinction from 9113 is that watch straps are specifically accessories of watches (Chapter 91).
