4202.19.00.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 4202.19.00.00, covers "Other" trunks, suitcases, vanity cases, attache cases, briefcases, school satchels, and similar containers. These goods are primarily distinguished by their construction materials and intended purpose as robust containers for travel or transport. The key characteristic for classification within this specific sub-heading is the absence of the defining outer surface materials specified in its sibling categories.

Category 4202.19.00.00 serves as a residual classification for those containers that do not have an outer surface exclusively or primarily composed of leather, composition leather (4202.11.00), or plastics and textile materials (4202.12). This means if a trunk or briefcase is made, for instance, entirely of vulcanized fiber, paperboard, or other materials not falling under the specified plastic or textile coverings, it would likely be classified here. The emphasis remains on the structural integrity and function as a travel-type container.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 4202.19.00.00. Therefore, classification at this level requires a thorough examination of the item's construction to ensure it does not meet the criteria for the more specific sibling categories, ensuring accurate tariff application for a diverse range of travel and similar containers.
