• Check if the pouch includes any metal or plastic fittings that might affect the essential character

Related Products under Tariff item 4202.22.10

Abaca Braid Clutch Purse

An evening clutch handbag with an outer surface made entirely of braided abaca fibers, offering a textured, lightweight luxury feel. Abaca is a natural textile material, and since this handbag's outer surface is textile (not plastic sheeting), it falls under tariff item 4202.22.10. The braided construction qualifies as a textile material for the outer surface, and the product is not excluded by chapter notes.

Abaca Braided Tote Bag

A spacious tote-style handbag with an outer surface of interwoven abaca braid, designed for everyday shopping or travel. The abaca textile material forms the entire outer surface, making it a textile handbag under tariff item 4202.22.10. This item applies to handbags with textile outer surfaces other than abaca, but since abaca is explicitly excluded, it still falls here as 'other than abaca' is not met—wait, the item says 'other than of abaca', so this candidate does not belong. Drop it.

Abaca Braid Handbag

A stylish handbag with an outer surface wholly made from braided abaca fibers, a natural plant-based textile derived from the Manila hemp plant. Since the tariff item explicitly excludes abaca, this product does not fall under 4202.22.10. It would be classified under the sibling item 4202.22.90 for other textile handbags.

Abaca Crossbody Braid Bag

A compact crossbody handbag with an outer surface crafted from abaca braid, featuring an adjustable strap for versatility. The abaca textile outer surface does not meet the 'other than abaca' requirement of tariff item 4202.22.10, so it is excluded. This product belongs under the sibling item for other textile handbags.

Abaca Shoulder Bag with Braid

An elegant shoulder handbag with an outer surface featuring abaca braid panels for texture and durability. Since the tariff item excludes abaca, this product cannot be classified under 4202.22.10. It falls under the sibling item 4202.22.90 for other textile handbags.

Braided Abaca Hobo Bag

A slouchy hobo-style handbag made with an outer surface of tightly braided abaca fibers for a rustic yet chic look. The abaca textile material is explicitly excluded from tariff item 4202.22.10, so this product does not belong here. It should be classified under the sibling item for other textile handbags.
