HTS code for cosmetic bag: document outer material, lining, and use

Planning Use only. Broker review required for Entry Use.

A cosmetic bag file needs container facts. The review depends on outer surface material, lining, closure, compartments, waterproof coating, whether cosmetics are included, and whether the article is a pouch, toiletry bag, travel organizer, handbag, or gift set.

Use this page to prepare the Planning Use record before broker review. The file should show the bag as imported and keep empty bags separate from filled cosmetic kits.

quick answer

For "hts code for cosmetic bag", collect outer surface material, lining, dimensions, zipper or closure, compartments, brush slots, waterproof layer, mirror, handle, cosmetics or tools included, origin, and supplier code.

An empty textile cosmetic pouch is not the same file as a leather toiletry bag, plastic clear travel pouch, brush roll, handbag-style bag, or makeup gift set with product inside.

facts to collect for a cosmetic bag

Collect:

Product name, invoice wording, SKU, and product page.
Exterior, interior, lining, zipper, handle, compartments, label, packaging, and contents photos.
Outer surface material: textile, coated textile, plastic sheeting, PVC, PU, leather, silicone, EVA, or mixed material.
Lining, waterproof coating, zipper, snap, handle, brush slots, mesh pocket, mirror, elastic loops, and trim.
Article type: cosmetic pouch, toiletry bag, brush roll, travel organizer, clear pouch, handbag-style pouch, or gift set.

Supplier HS or HTS code and source notes.

If cosmetics are included, list each product. If the bag is clear plastic for travel, record material and closure.

missing facts

Mark the file incomplete when:

Outer surface material is unsupported.
Empty bag versus filled kit status is unclear.
Cosmetic pouch versus toiletry bag, organizer, or handbag status is unclear.
Lining, closure, compartments, or mirror contents are missing.
Included cosmetics or tools are not listed.
Origin is assumed from shipment route.
Supplier code is unsupported.
Similar CBP CROSS rulings have not been checked.

These gaps can move the review between cosmetic bags, travel organizers, handbags, plastic pouches, brush rolls, or cosmetic kits.

HTS candidate notes

Build candidate rows for the actual article: cosmetic pouch, toiletry bag, brush roll, travel organizer, plastic clear pouch, handbag-style bag, or cosmetic kit. Each row should cite a material or design fact.

Rejected alternatives should stay in the file. If the bag is empty, say that. If products are included, do not treat the shipment as only a bag.

authority sources

Use USITC HTS for tariff text. Use CBP CROSS for cosmetic bags, toiletry bags, pouches, travel organizers, handbags, and cosmetic kits.

planning path

Start with outside and inside photos. Then write a table for outer material, lining, article type, dimensions, closure, contents, origin, and supplier code. If there are liquids, powders, or cosmetics inside, start a separate product line for those.

Duty stack notes should include origin and material-specific exposure tied to the candidate path.

planning boundary

This cosmetic bag HTS page is a planning artifact. It is not an Entry Use classification, not a binding ruling, and not a legal opinion. The importer remains responsible for reasonable care and must obtain broker or customs authority review before filing.
