4202.92.31.31 - Other (670)

This HTS category, 4202.92.31.31, specifically covers "Other" travel, sports, and similar bags when their outer surface is constructed of man-made textile materials. This broad designation encompasses a wide array of bags that do not fit into more specific subcategories within the "travel, sports and similar bags" classification, provided they meet the material requirements. The "Other" designation signifies that these are residual items not otherwise detailed, emphasizing a need for careful examination against the defined criteria of this specific code.

When classifying under this code, it is crucial to distinguish it from its sibling, 4202.92.31.20, which is designated for "Backpacks." While both are travel or sports bags with an outer surface of man-made textile materials, this category is for items that are not backpacks. For instance, duffel bags, gym bags, or weekenders with an outer surface made from nylon, polyester, or other synthetic fabrics would fall here, whereas a bag designed to be carried on the back with shoulder straps would be classified as a backpack.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this code relies heavily on ensuring the item's primary purpose aligns with travel, sports, or similar applications and that its outer surface is definitively composed of man-made textile fibers, and it does not meet the criteria for any more specific HTS code. The "Other" component highlights its role as a catch-all for bags that fit the broader criteria but lack a more precise descriptor.
