CBP's Ruling
| Item | HTS code | CBP's description of the line |
|---|---|---|
| bottle bag | HTS 4202.92.9100 | other containers and cases, with outer surface of sheeting of plastics or of textile materials, other, other, with outer surface of textile materials, of man-made fibers (except for jewelry boxes of a kind normally sold at retail with their contents) |
Explanation
The request asked whether the bag was a handbag or a travel bag. CBP set both aside, since neither covers a bottle bag (the reasons are below).
CBP then placed the bag on the line in heading 4202 for other containers and cases with an outer surface of textile materials, of man-made fibers. The bag is made of 100 percent nylon, a man-made textile material, and is shaped and fitted to hold one bottle.
Headings CBP ruled out
- the subheading for handbags: Handbags are designed to hold the small personal effects a person carries every day, and the handbag subheading does not include bottle bags or cases.
- the subheading for travel bags: Additional U.S. Note 1 to Chapter 42 defines travel, sports and similar bags as bags for carrying clothing and personal effects during travel, and excludes bottle cases and similar containers.
Does this apply to your product?
It likely does if you can answer yes to each of these:
- Is it a bag shaped and fitted to hold one bottle?
- Is the outer surface a man-made textile such as nylon?
- Is it made to carry a bottle rather than everyday personal effects or travel items?
A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
