Show the answer and walk-through
CBP's answer: C. C: 4201.00.6000
Heading 4201 covers saddlery and harness for any animal, so a leather cat harness belongs there rather than in 4205 or 4112. Subheading 4201.00.30 is limited to dog equipment, and the cat harness is not that, so it goes in the 'Other' line, 4201.00.6000 (C).
Dog leashes, collars, muzzles, harnesses and similar dog equipment 4201.00.30.00
Saddlery and harness for any animal (including traces, leads, knee pads, muzzles, saddle cloths, saddle bags, dog coats and the like), of any material: > Other 4201.00.60.00
