Last updated: August 2026 dataHandbags with outer surfaces of plastic sheeting or textile materials are classified across a highly granular set of US tariff lines that distinguish fiber content (silk, cotton, man-made fibers, vegetable fibers, paper yarn), construction method (braided vs. non-braided, pile/tufted vs. flat), and specific plant-based materials such as abaca. Cambodia leads US imports under this subheading, followed by France and Italy — an unusual pairing that reflects both high-volume production in Southeast Asia and European luxury brands sourcing textile bags from the region. Section 301 tariffs may apply to goods of Chinese origin, making supplier diversification a key consideration for buyers.

The US schedule breaks down textile-surface handbags by construction (braided vs. non-braided), pile or tufted finish, and then by fiber type — silk (≥85% by weight), cotton, man-made fibers, vegetable fibers, and residual categories. Importers must obtain fiber content certification from the manufacturer and ensure the commercial invoice specifies both construction method and fiber composition to support correct classification.
Yes. The US tariff schedule explicitly separates braided handbags from non-braided ones within the textile-surface category, and further distinguishes by fiber type within the braided group (e.g., abaca, cotton, man-made fibers, silk). A bag that is only partly braided may still qualify for the braided lines if it is 'wholly or partly' of braid, so the degree of braiding and the dominant fiber both need to be documented.
