4202.12.29.85 - Other

This HTS classification, 4202.12.29.85, pertains to "Other" containers that fall under the broader category of trunks, suitcases, vanity cases, attache cases, briefcases, school satchels, and similar containers, with an outer surface of plastics. Specifically, it represents a residual category for items within this group that do not fit into more specific sub-classifications. The defining characteristic is their construction, where the primary outer surface is composed of plastic sheeting or materials.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 4202.12.29.35 (Attache cases, briefcases and similar containers), this "Other" classification is intended for items that are *not* attache cases, briefcases, or their direct equivalents. The scope here encompasses a wider range of plastic-surfaced containers within the broader "trunks, suitcases, and similar containers" group, excluding those specifically designated as attache cases or briefcases. This implies items like certain types of small travel cases, specialized luggage, or containers that share characteristics with suitcases but are not precisely defined as such.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification relies on a careful consideration of the item's form, function, and materials against the defined criteria of the parent categories. When classifying under 4202.12.29.85, ensure that the article is indeed a container resembling a trunk, suitcase, vanity case, attache case, briefcase, school satchel, or similar, is primarily constructed with a plastic outer surface, and does not qualify for a more specific classification within the HTS Chapter 42, particularly under sibling entries at this level.
