## How to choose

- Does it include visible gemstones, pearls, or metal (e.g., gold/silver) as a key feature? → 7113
## Overlaps & pitfalls
A chain purse may qualify for both if it uses leather *and* has gold-plated chains. In such cases, prioritize the **main function or defining feature**: if the metal elements are decorative and prominent, use 7113; if not, use 4202.9X. The HS Code does not specify priority—choose based on what makes the product distinctive
