4202.11.00.30 - Attache cases, briefcases, school satchels, occupational luggage cases and similar containers

This HTS category, specifically HTS code 4202.11.00.30, encompasses a range of professional and educational carryalls designed for transporting documents, tools, or specialized equipment. It includes items such as attache cases, briefcases, and school satchels that are characterized by their structured form and protective features. The classification emphasizes containers intended for occupational use or academic pursuits, distinguishing them by their purpose and often rigid construction.

The primary differentiator for this code lies in its specific inclusion of certain types of cases, such as occupational luggage cases, which are not broadly covered by the "Other" sibling category (4202.11.00.90). While the parent category broadly covers various containers with outer surfaces of leather or composition leather, this subcategory zeroes in on those with a clear professional or educational application. The distinction is often based on design features that facilitate the organized and secure transport of specific items relevant to a trade, profession, or study.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 4202.11.00.30 rests on identifying containers that precisely match the description of attache cases, briefcases, school satchels, and similar occupational luggage cases, ensuring they possess an outer surface made of leather or composition leather. The specific purpose and design indicative of these professional or educational applications are key to correct classification within this code.
