Explanation

Heading 4202 covers traveling bags, shopping bags and similar containers, including those of sheeting of plastics. CBP placed the tote bag on the line for other travel, sports and similar bags with an outer surface of plastic sheeting. The bag's outer surface is plastic sheeting, and it's designed to carry and organize personal effects during travel.

Does this apply to your product?

It likely does if you can answer yes to each of these:

  • Is it a tote bag designed to hold and carry personal belongings during travel?
  • Is the outer surface made of plastic sheeting?

A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
