Overview
This HTS classification covers small containers typically carried in a pocket or handbag, where the outer surface is made of textile materials. Examples include small coin purses, cardholders, compact mirror cases, cigarette cases, and tobacco pouches, provided they meet the material and size criteria of the parent headings. The key defining characteristic for this category is the utilization of textile materials as the primary outer surface, distinguishing it from similar articles that might be made of plastics or other materials.
This specific subheading, 4202.32.85.00, further narrows the classification by specifying that these textile articles must contain 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. This stringent material requirement differentiates it from other textile-based containers within the same group. For instance, while sibling categories like 4202.32.91.00 cover cotton articles and 4202.32.93.00 encompass those made of man-made fibers, this classification focuses exclusively on the luxurious and specific composition of silk.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to detail. Therefore, the classification of an article under 4202.32.85.00 hinges on its identification as a pocket or handbag-sized container, its textile outer surface, and the definitive presence of silk or silk waste constituting 85% or more of its total weight.
