Nylon Thermal Picnic Lunch Sack from Japan
A drawstring sack with thermal insulation for picnics, made from ripstop nylon fabric on the exterior for durability and water resistance. It matches HTS 4202.92.08.07 for insulated food bags of man-made fibers, emphasizing its role as a portable container unlike basic textile sacks. The man-made fiber outer surface (nylon) drives the precise subheading.

Import Tips
• Document insulation efficacy (e.g
• R-value tests) to substantiate 'insulated' claim; CBP may challenge if performance is marginal
• Ensure no fur or apparel linings, as Chapter notes exclude fur-attached items to 4303/4304
• For retail packs, avoid bulk shipping labels; retail packaging can influence 'set' vs individual classification
