4202.12.81.30 - Attache cases, briefcases, school satchels, occupational luggage cases and similar containers (670)

This HTS classification, 4202.12.81.30, specifically covers attache cases, briefcases, school satchels, and similar containers when their outer surface is made of man-made textile materials. These containers are designed for carrying documents, personal items, or specific equipment for occupational use or educational purposes. The emphasis is on their structured form and the primary function of secure transport of contents, distinguishing them from more general travel bags or purely decorative items.

This category is differentiated from its sibling, 4202.12.81.70 (Other), by the explicit requirement that the outer surface be composed of man-made fibers. While both fall under containers with textile outer surfaces of plastics or textile materials, this specific code narrows the material composition to synthetic fabrics. This distinction is crucial for accurate duty assessment and trade statistics.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level hinges on the precise identification of the container type (attache case, briefcase, school satchel, etc.) and the confirmation of its outer surface being constructed from man-made fibers, aligning with the broader context of travel goods and similar containers.
