4202.12.60.00 - Other (870) 🖩

This HTS category, 4202.12.60.00, specifically covers "Other" travel goods and similar containers within the broader group of articles with an outer surface of textile materials, which are neither of pile nor tufted construction. This includes a wide range of bags and cases designed for travel, personal use, or specific purposes, such as handbags, backpacks, sports bags, tool bags, and jewelry boxes. The key defining characteristics for inclusion are their function as containers and their construction, which involves an outer textile surface that is not made of pile or tufted fabric.

It is important to distinguish this "Other" category from its sibling, 4202.12.40.00. While both fall under the umbrella of textile-surfaced, non-pile, non-tufted containers, the sibling category is specifically designated for items made predominantly of cotton. Therefore, 4202.12.60.00 serves as a residual category for all other textile materials that do not fit the cotton specification, encompassing items made from synthetic fibers, blends, or other natural textile fibers.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this code hinges on correctly identifying that the article is a travel good or similar container, has an outer surface of textile material, is not of pile or tufted construction, and is not specifically classifiable as being of cotton.
