4202.32.20.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 4202.32.20.00, encompasses "Other" articles of a kind normally carried in the pocket or in the handbag, with an outer surface of sheeting of plastics. This designation serves as a residual category for plastic-surfaced items intended for personal carriage that do not meet the specific criteria of other related subheadings. Examples of items that would fall under this classification include small cosmetic bags, coin purses, or cardholders made from plastic sheeting, where these items are designed to be easily held or placed within a larger bag or pocket.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 4202.32.10.00, by the composition of the outer plastic surface. While 4202.32.10.00 specifically covers articles with an outer surface of reinforced or laminated plastics, this category is for those where the plastic sheeting is neither reinforced nor laminated. The distinction hinges on the structural integrity and manufacturing process of the plastic material forming the exterior of the article.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 4202.32.20.00 is final for qualifying articles that are neither reinforced nor laminated plastic, are intended for pocket or handbag use, and are not otherwise specifically classified. The classification relies on a careful assessment of the material's properties and the intended use of the article.
