4202.22.89.80 - Other (871)

This HTS category, 4202.22.89.80, encompasses handbags and similar small luggage items that are primarily characterized by an outer surface composed of textile materials. It serves as a residual category for such articles when they do not specifically fall under more defined textile subcategories at the same level. The "Other" designation within this code signifies that these items do not meet the specific criteria of preceding sibling categories, such as those made of cotton (4202.22.89.30) or paper yarn (4202.22.89.70). Therefore, this classification is applied to handbags with an outer textile surface made from materials not explicitly listed in the preceding sibling codes.

Given that this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level requires careful examination of the textile material constituting the outer surface of the handbag. If the outer surface is primarily composed of a textile that is not cotton or paper yarn, and the article fits the broader definition of a handbag or similar container under subheading 4202.22, then this "Other" category is appropriate. Examples might include handbags with outer surfaces made from synthetic fibers, wool blends, or other woven or non-woven textile materials not specifically enumerated elsewhere.
