4202.21.90.00 - Valued over $20 each

This HTS category, 4202.21.90.00, specifically covers handbags with an outer surface of leather or composition leather that are valued at over $20 each. This includes a wide array of handbags, such as those with or without shoulder straps and those without handles. The key distinguishing factor for this classification is the higher value threshold, signifying a premium or more elaborately constructed item compared to its sibling category.

The distinction between 4202.21.90.00 and its sibling, 4202.21.60.00 (valued not over $20 each), hinges solely on the declared or assessed value of the handbag. Both categories encompass handbags made from leather or composition leather. Therefore, the classification decision rests on comparing the item's value against the $20 benchmark.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. All items meeting the criteria of being a handbag with an outer surface of leather or composition leather and valued over $20 are classified directly under this code. Examples include designer leather handbags, high-end clutch bags, and larger leather tote bags exceeding the specified value.
