4202.21.60.00 - Valued not over $20 each

This HTS classification category, 4202.21.60.00, pertains to handbags that are valued at $20 or less each. The scope includes a wide variety of hand-carried bags, with or without a shoulder strap, that are designed for personal use and conveyance of items. This encompasses items commonly referred to as purses, clutch bags, and similar small to medium-sized handbags where the primary outer surface is composed of leather or composition leather.

This category is distinguished from its sibling category, 4202.21.90.00, solely by the monetary value of the item. While both categories cover handbags with an outer surface of leather or composition leather, 4202.21.60.00 specifically applies to those valued not exceeding $20 per unit, whereas 4202.21.90.00 is for handbags valued at over $20 each. This distinction is crucial for determining applicable duty rates and trade regulations.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. The classification is determined by the material of the outer surface (leather or composition leather) and the value threshold of $20. Therefore, all handbags fitting these material criteria and falling within this value are classified here.
