4202.99.90.00 - Other 🖩

This category, HTS Code 4202.99.90.00, covers "Other" containers that do not fall into the more specific subheadings within Chapter 42. These are essentially miscellaneous containers not explicitly listed elsewhere, often characterized by their construction materials and intended use for carrying or storing various items. This broad designation encompasses items that are similar in function and form to those listed in preceding subheadings but lack a more precise classification.

To differentiate this "Other" category from its siblings, consider the materials of coverage. The sibling category, HTS Code 4202.99.10.00, specifically addresses containers that are wholly or mainly covered with paper. This present category, 4202.99.90.00, therefore, is for containers made from or primarily covered with materials *other than* paper, such as leather, composition leather, sheeting of plastics, textile materials, vulcanized fiber, or other materials not covered by the specific paper-covered sibling. The key distinction lies in the primary covering or construction material.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification into this subheading relies heavily on the process of elimination. If an item is a container and does not fit into the more specific classifications of trunks, suitcases, travel bags, handbags, backpacks, or other similarly defined containers based on their primary material and form, and it is not primarily covered by paper, then it will likely be classified under this general "Other" designation. Examples could include specialized cases for sporting equipment not covered elsewhere, unique decorative containers, or custom-made carrying solutions that do not align with the more common categories.
