4202.99.20.00 - Not lined with textile fabrics 🖩

This HTS classification, 4202.99.20.00, pertains to "other" containers and bags that are not lined with textile fabrics. These articles, falling under the broader category of travel goods, handbags, and similar containers, are characterized by their construction or primary covering being of materials other than leather, composition leather, sheeting of plastics, textile materials, vulcanized fiber, or paperboard. Specifically, this sub-category focuses on items where the outer material is predominantly paper, and the construction is further delineated as being "of wood." This means the item's structural integrity or visible outer layer is derived from wood, and it lacks any textile lining.

This category is distinct from its sibling, HTS 4202.99.30.00, which covers similar containers and bags that *are* lined with textile fabrics. The presence or absence of a textile lining is the key differentiating factor at this level. Both classifications, however, share the requirement that the primary outer material is paper, and the overall container is "of wood" in terms of its construction.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to detail. The classification is definitive based on the material composition (primarily paper covering, wood construction) and the absence of a textile lining. Importers and exporters should ensure that the physical characteristics and material composition of their goods precisely match these criteria to ensure correct declaration and avoid potential discrepancies during customs processing.
