Last updated: April 2026 dataHandbags whose outer surface material does not fit the leather, plastic-sheeting, or textile subheadings — such as those made from straw, raffia, paper, metal mesh, or other unconventional materials — are captured here as a residual category. Correct classification requires ruling out the more specific subheadings first, making material identification documentation essential. Because this is a catch-all, CBP may scrutinize entries more closely to confirm that a more specific subheading does not apply.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Bags with outer surfaces of natural plant fibers (straw, raffia, seagrass), paper, metal mesh, or composite materials that are neither leather nor plastic sheeting nor textile are the most common candidates. The importer must affirmatively demonstrate that no more specific subheading applies.
Yes — because the NES subheading is residual, CBP may challenge the classification if a more specific provision could apply. Requesting a binding ruling in advance provides certainty on duty rate and reduces the risk of a reclassification and penalty at entry.
