4202.22.40 - Other

This HTS category, 4202.22.40, pertains to handbags that are not explicitly covered by sibling categories. Specifically, these handbags feature an outer surface composed of textile materials and are either wholly or in part constructed from braided materials. The "Other" designation within this node indicates it captures handbags fitting the general description that are not specified by more granular sibling categories, such as those made of abaca.

The defining characteristic here is the combination of a textile outer surface and the presence of braiding as a construction element or decorative feature. This differentiates it from other textile-based handbags at this level, ensuring accurate classification based on material composition and manufacturing technique.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on specific material composition. Subcategory 4202.22.40.10 addresses handbags containing a significant proportion of silk or silk waste, while the remaining "Other" subcategories capture all other braided textile handbags not meeting that specific silk content threshold. This hierarchical structure allows for precise identification of the handbag's material makeup.
