4202.92.15.00 - Of cotton (369)

This HTS category, specifically 4202.92.15.00, encompasses travel, sports, and similar bags where the outer surface is constructed of textile materials, and these textile materials are derived from vegetable fibers. Crucially, these vegetable fiber textiles must not be of pile or tufted construction. This classification applies to a wide array of containers designed for carrying personal items during travel, sports, or for general utility, provided they meet the specified material and construction criteria. Examples include knapsacks, backpacks, handbags, shopping bags, and sports bags, when their primary external material is a woven or non-woven fabric made from plant-based fibers like cotton, linen, jute, or hemp, and these fabrics do not have raised loops or cut fibers.

The distinction of this category lies in its specific material requirement: vegetable fibers. While its sibling category, 4202.92.20.00 ("Other"), would cover similar bags with textile outer surfaces but made from other types of fibers (such as synthetic or artificial fibers), or potentially those with different constructions not explicitly covered here, this code is narrowly defined for bags explicitly made from vegetable fibers. The absence of subcategories indicates that further breakdown within this specific "Of cotton" designation is not provided at this level of the HTS. Therefore, the classification hinges on the correct identification of the textile material as being of vegetable origin and not pile or tufted.
