Lycra Elastic Handbag
A stretchy drawcord handbag made from a Lycra-spandex man-made blend, designed for gym-to-street use. Its outer surface is of elastic textile material, and it is not of silk or braided construction, so it is classified under tariff item 4202.22.90 as an 'Other' handbag with an outer surface of textile materials.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the drawcord design makes it more of a sports bag than a handbag
Sports bags with textile outer surfaces are classified under a different subheading, which may be more appropriate for gym-use items.
If the Lycra blend contains 85% or more by weight of silk or silk waste
This sibling item covers textile handbags with high silk content, which would be excluded from the 'Other' basket item.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the Lycra-spandex blend is predominantly textile and not considered a plastic sheeting, as that would alter the classification
• For CBSA, clearly label the fiber content (e.g
• 80% nylon, 20% spandex) on the commercial invoice
• If the drawcord includes metal fittings, ensure they are minor, as essential character could shift classification
