4602.19.29 - Other

This HTS category, 4602.19.29, encompasses luggage, handbags, and flat goods that are constructed from vegetable plaiting materials other than willow or palm leaf. The articles are either made directly to shape from these plaiting materials or assembled from items of heading 4601. This classification applies to a broad range of travel and accessory items, excluding those specifically designated under other subheadings.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 4602.19.22.00 (Of willow) and the "Of palm leaf" category, relies on the specific type of vegetable plaiting material used. Where those subheadings are reserved for articles made from willow or palm leaf respectively, this subheading 4602.19.29 is for all other vegetable plaiting materials, such as straw, esparto, rattan, bamboo, or reeds, when fashioned into luggage, handbags, or flat goods.

Within this broader category, further distinctions are made to refine classification. Subcategory 4602.19.29.20 specifically covers handbags, which are typically smaller, more portable bags designed for carrying personal items. The remaining articles within this broader "Other" classification are then directed to subcategory 4602.19.29.40, "Other," which would include items like suitcases, travel bags, briefcases, wallets, and other flat goods not meeting the specific definition of a handbag.
