Insulated Nylon Lunch Tote Bag from Japan

A soft-sided lunch tote bag featuring an insulated lining to keep food and beverages at desired temperatures, with an outer surface primarily made of nylon man-made fiber textile material. It falls under HTS 4202.92.08.07 because it is an insulated food or beverage bag with an outer surface of man-made fiber textiles, distinguishing it from non-insulated bags or those with plastic sheeting. The man-made fiber composition (e.g., nylon or polyester) places it specifically in the '670' subcategory.

Import Tips

Verify the outer surface is predominantly man-made fiber (e.g

nylon/polyester >50%) via lab tests, as CBP requires fiber content documentation to avoid reclassification to plastic sheeting codes

Include insulation material specs in invoices; thermal retention claims must match construction to prevent scrutiny under misleading description pitfalls

Label as 'insulated food bag' clearly; generic 'tote' labeling risks shift to non-insulated 4202.92 categories with different duties
