4202.12.89.80 - Other (870)

This HTS subcategory, HTS Code 4202.12.89.80, encompasses a broad range of travel goods, such as trunks, suitcases, vanity cases, attache cases, briefcases, school satchels, and similar containers, when their outer surface is primarily composed of textile materials. It is important to note that this classification is an "Other" category, meaning it captures items that do not fit into more specific subdivisions within the textile-surfaced travel goods category.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, it's crucial to consider the material composition further. HTS Code 4202.12.89.50 specifically covers textile travel goods made with 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. Similarly, HTS Code 4202.12.89.60 is reserved for travel goods predominantly made of cotton. Therefore, HTS Code 4202.12.89.80 applies to textile travel goods where silk or cotton are not the predominant components or where the textile material is a blend that doesn't meet the specific weight percentages for the sibling categories.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this "Other" category relies on carefully examining the textile composition and ensuring the item meets the general criteria for textile-surfaced travel goods under the 4202.12.89 heading, while not qualifying for the more specific silk or cotton classifications. This necessitates a detailed review of the specific textile blend and the overall construction of the travel article.
