HTS code for phone strap: document material, connector, and use

Planning Use only. Broker review required for Entry Use.

A phone strap can be a wrist lanyard, crossbody strap, bead chain, silicone tether, textile cord, leather strap, metal chain, adhesive anchor, phone charm, or strap-and-case kit. The review needs material, connector, use, and box contents before a code path is trusted.

Use this page to prepare the Planning Use record before broker review. The file should make clear whether the imported article is a strap, jewelry-like charm, phone case accessory, or part of a phone case set.

quick answer

For "hts code for phone strap", collect strap material, connector type, anchor patch, clips, rings, chain, bead material, length, adjustability, phone case inclusion, packaging, origin, and supplier code.

A textile lanyard is not the same file as a metal phone chain, silicone tether, leather crossbody strap, beaded charm, or phone case kit. Material and use should be documented.

facts to collect for a phone strap

Collect:

• Product name, invoice wording, SKU, and product page.
• Strap, connector, clips, anchor patch, rings, beads, packaging, and set contents photos.
• Main material: textile, polyester cord, nylon cord, leather, silicone, rubber, plastic beads, glass beads, metal chain, or mixed material.
• Connector type: lanyard loop, adhesive anchor, phone patch, clip, carabiner, ring, screw, case attachment, or charm loop.
• Article type: wrist strap, crossbody strap, phone lanyard, phone charm, bead strap, phone case accessory, or set component.
• Length, adjustability, width, hardware material, decorative parts, and whether a phone case is included.
• Country of origin and production support.
• Supplier HS or HTS code and source notes.

If the shipment includes a phone case, document that separately. If beads or charms dominate the article, keep the jewelry-like review path open.

missing facts

Mark the file incomplete when:

• Main material is unsupported.
• Connector type is unclear.
• Strap versus charm, jewelry-like article, or phone case set status is unclear.
• Hardware, beads, anchor patch, or case contents are not listed.
• Length, adjustability, or use is not documented.
• Origin is assumed from shipment route.
• Supplier code is unsupported.
• Similar CBP CROSS rulings have not been checked.

These gaps can move the review between textile straps, plastic articles, metal chains, phone accessories, jewelry-like charms, or phone case sets.

HTS candidate notes

Build candidate rows for the actual article: textile phone lanyard, silicone phone strap, leather strap, metal chain, beaded charm, phone case accessory, or strap-and-case set. Each row should cite a material or design fact.

Rejected alternatives should stay in the record. If it is not jewelry because the functional strap dominates, say that. If decorative beads dominate, do not ignore the charm question.

authority sources

• USITC HTS
• CBP CROSS
• 19 CFR 177.2

Use USITC HTS for tariff text. Use CBP CROSS for phone accessories, lanyards, straps, charms, chains, and phone case sets.

planning path

Start with material and connector photos. Then write a table for main material, connector, article type, length, hardware, set contents, origin, and supplier code. If the listing calls it a strap but photos show a charm, record both facts.

Duty stack notes should include origin, special tariff program claims, and material-specific exposure tied to the candidate path.

questions importers ask

No. Use it for Planning Use. Entry Use needs broker or customs authority review.

What if a phone case is included?

List the case and review the imported set rather than only the strap.

This phone strap HTS page is a planning artifact. It is not an Entry Use classification, not a binding ruling, and not a legal opinion. The importer remains responsible for reasonable care and must obtain broker or customs authority review before filing.
