4202.12.29.35 - Attache cases, briefcases and similar containers

This HTS classification, 4202.12.29.35, specifically covers attache cases, briefcases, and similar containers that possess an outer surface predominantly made of plastics. These items are designed for carrying documents, business materials, or personal effects, often characterized by their structured form, handles, and closure mechanisms. The "similar containers" aspect broadly encompasses items sharing these functional and structural attributes, even if not explicitly named, provided they meet the material and purpose criteria.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 4202.12.29.85 ("Other"), relies on the precise determination of the primary outer surface material. While both fall under "With outer surface of plastics," this specific code is for attache cases and briefcases. The sibling category likely encompasses other types of containers within the broader plastic-surfaced group that do not specifically fit the attache case or briefcase description.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 4202.12.29.35 depends on meeting the primary criteria of being an attache case, briefcase, or a similar container with an outer surface of plastics. Factors such as dimensions, rigidity, intended use, and specific design features will be critical in making a definitive classification decision.
