4202.32.99.00 - Other (871)

This classification, 4202.32.99.00, covers "Other" articles of a kind normally carried in the pocket or in the handbag, with an outer surface of textile materials, that do not fall into more specific subcategories. These are essentially small personal accessory containers designed for portability and everyday use, often fitting within a pocket or a larger handbag. Examples may include small pouches, coin purses, cardholders, or similar items where the primary material of the outer surface is textile.

It is crucial to differentiate this category from its siblings. Articles specifically containing 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste are classified under 4202.32.85.00. Similarly, those with an outer surface of cotton are specifically classified under 4202.32.91.00, and those primarily composed of man-made fibers fall under 4202.32.93.00. This "Other" category serves as a residual classification for textile-surfaced pocket or handbag articles not meeting the specific material composition of the preceding categories.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the classification relies on the precise definition and the exclusion of goods covered by the sibling categories. Proper classification hinges on accurately determining the textile material of the outer surface and ensuring the article's intended use aligns with being "normally carried in the pocket or in the handbag."
