4202.29.90.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, "Other," within the broader classification of handbags, is for those items that do not fit into more specific subcategories based on material composition or construction. It encompasses handbags that are not exclusively made of leather, composition leather, sheeting of plastics, textile materials, vulcanized fiber, or paperboard. Furthermore, it excludes items that are primarily covered with these specified materials or paper. The classification hinges on the presence of other materials or a significant portion of materials not listed in the preceding, more granular categories.

To distinguish this "Other" category from its sibling, "Of materials (other than leather, composition leather, sheeting of plastics, textile materials, vulcanized fiber or paperboard) wholly or mainly covered with paper," it's important to note the precise wording. This sibling category specifically addresses items predominantly covered with paper, which is not the primary defining characteristic of the "Other" category. Therefore, if a handbag is not primarily covered with paper, and its composition does not align with the defined materials of preceding categories, it will likely fall under this residual "Other" classification.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this "Other" category requires a thorough examination of the handbag's constituent materials to ensure it does not meet the criteria for any other more specific HTS code. This residual classification is crucial for accurately accounting for the vast diversity of handbag designs and constructions encountered in international trade, particularly those utilizing novel or mixed material compositions.
