4202.92.31.20 - Backpacks (670)

This HTS category, 4202.92.31.20, specifically classifies backpacks whose outer surface is constructed from textile materials, with those textile materials being of man-made fibers. This means items like typical school backpacks, hiking backpacks, and daypacks, when made primarily from synthetic fabrics such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic, will fall under this heading. The focus here is on the material composition of the exterior, requiring it to be a man-made textile.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 4202.92.31.31, which covers "Other" travel, sports, and similar bags with an outer surface of textile materials. While both fall under the broader "With outer surface of textile materials" umbrella, this node is specifically for backpacks made of man-made fibers. The sibling category would encompass textile bags in this general product group that are not backpacks, or backpacks with an outer surface of natural textile fibers, or a blend that doesn't predominantly feature man-made fibers.

As a leaf node, this category represents a granular level of detail within the HTS system. Therefore, further subdivision is not present. Classification within 4202.92.31.20 is definitive based on the product being a backpack and its outer surface being composed of man-made textile materials. Practical classification hinges on verifying the material composition of the primary outer surface and confirming the item's function as a backpack.
