4202.22.81.00 - Of man-made fibers (670)

This HTS classification, 4202.22.81.00, pertains to handbags specifically manufactured with an outer surface composed of man-made fibers. These are distinct from handbags where silk or silk waste forms 85 percent or more of the outer surface by weight, which are classified under 4202.22.70.00. This category encompasses a wide array of handbag styles, provided their primary exterior material is not silk but rather synthetic or artificial fibers, excluding those that fall into the "other" residual category at the same level.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, understanding its scope relies on differentiating it from its sibling categories and aligning it with the broader description of handbags under heading 4202. The key determinant for classification within 4202.22.81.00 is the explicit presence of man-made fibers as the predominant external material of the handbag, ensuring accurate and consistent trade documentation.
