9902.12.47 - Bags of man-made fibers, with outer surface of textile materials, the foregoing designed for use on janitorial, cleaning and housekeeping carts (provided for in subheading 4202.92.91)

This HTS classification, 9902.12.47, specifically addresses bags constructed from man-made fibers. A key defining characteristic is that the outer surface of these bags must be made of textile materials. Furthermore, their intended use is strictly limited to the provision of janitorial, cleaning, or housekeeping carts. This classification operates under the temporary legislation and special provisions of Chapter 99, indicating it may be subject to specific trade agreements or import restrictions.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings at the HTS root level is straightforward. The HTS root encompasses a vast array of goods, beginning with live animals under Chapters 01 through 05. Unlike those broad agricultural categories, 9902.12.47 is highly specific, focusing on manufactured goods with particular material compositions and functional purposes, and residing within the special classification provisions rather than primary product chapters.

As HTS code 9902.12.47 is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within this specific classification. Therefore, the focus for importers and customs professionals is on accurately identifying that the bags meet all stipulated criteria: construction from man-made fibers, an outer textile surface, and the designated use for janitorial, cleaning, or housekeeping carts. The reference to subheading 4202.92.91 provides crucial additional context for the primary classification of these types of bags under normal tariff provisions, which this temporary provision modifies or supplements.
