4202.92.33 - Of paper yarn or of cotton; containing 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste

This HTS category encompasses travel, sports, and similar bags where the outer surface is comprised of textile materials. This includes a broad range of everyday and specialized carrying items designed for personal use during travel or athletic activities, as well as general-purpose bags like handbags and shopping bags that fall within this material construction. The defining characteristic is the textile outer surface, differentiating these items from those made of sheeting of plastics, leather, or other materials.

Within the broader classification of bags with textile outer surfaces, this specific subdivision distinguishes itself based on the primary textile component. While sibling categories might address bags made from man-made fibers or other vegetable fibers, this node focuses on bags where the textile material is either paper yarn or cotton, or those predominantly composed of silk. This material-based distinction is critical for accurate tariff application, ensuring that the specific nature of the textile contributes to the correct classification.

The subcategories further refine this classification based on the precise composition of the textile. You will find separate headings for bags made specifically of paper yarn, distinguishing them from other textile types. Additionally, a significant subdivision exists for bags that contain 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, recognizing the premium nature and distinct properties of silk. Finally, bags primarily constructed from cotton also have their own distinct classification under this node, allowing for granular identification of common textile bag types.
