4202.92.39.00 - Other (870)

This HTS category, 4202.92.39.00, specifically covers "other" travel, sports, and similar bags that have an outer surface composed entirely or primarily of textile materials. This broad classification encompasses a wide array of bags designed for carrying items during travel, sports, or for general utility, provided they do not fall into more specific subcategories based on material composition or construction. Examples include duffel bags, gym bags, and tote bags made from woven fabrics, non-woven fabrics, or knitted textile materials, which are not explicitly defined elsewhere within the 4202.92.3 subheadings.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. The sibling category "Of vegetable fibers and not of pile or tufted construction" pertains to bags made from specific natural plant fibers like jute, hemp, or straw, with a particular exclusion for pile or tufted fabrics. Similarly, 4202.92.31 covers bags made from man-made fibers, and 4202.92.33 addresses those made from paper yarn or cotton, or that predominantly contain silk. Therefore, 4202.92.39.00 serves as a residual category for textile bags that do not meet the precise material or construction criteria of these other subcategories.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within 4202.92.39.00 relies on confirming that the article is a travel, sports, or similar bag, its outer surface is of textile materials, and it does not fit into any of the more precisely defined sibling categories based on fiber type or construction. The "Other (870)" designation within the description indicates the presence of a numerical appendage which, in the context of the HTS, might refer to a specific statistical suffix or internal code used for reporting purposes, but does not alter the fundamental classification criteria of the article itself.
