4202.22.40.30 - Of man-made fibers (670)

This HTS category, 4202.22.40.30, specifically covers handbags that are constructed with an outer surface of textile materials, where those textile materials are man-made fibers. This encompasses a wide array of fashionable and functional handbags, including but not limited to those made from synthetic fabrics like polyester, nylon, or acrylic. The key defining characteristic is the presence of man-made fibers as the primary or significant outer component, distinguishing them from handbags made from natural fibers or other materials.

Crucially, this classification differentiates itself from its siblings by the specific type of textile material used. While 4202.22.40.20 is reserved for handbags with an outer surface of cotton textile materials, and 4202.22.40.40 covers "other" textile outer surfaces not specified elsewhere, this category isolates those explicitly made from man-made fibers. This precise material distinction is vital for accurate duty assessment and trade statistics.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification decisions within this node will hinge on confirming that the handbag meets the preceding criteria: it is a handbag, it has an outer surface of textile materials, and those textile materials are predominantly man-made fibers. Examples within this category might include synthetic leather-look handbags, nylon tote bags, or polyester clutch purses, provided they meet the material requirements.
