6305 — Sacks and bags, of a kind used for the packing of goods
Chapter 63: Other made-up textile articles
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 6305 when importing or exporting sacks and bags designed for packing goods. For example, if you're shipping jute sacks for agricultural products, this heading applies. It covers various materials used in the production of these bags, each with specific HS-6 classifications.
To distinguish between the HS-6 lines, consider the material of the bags. HS-630510 is for jute or other bast fibers, while HS-630520 is specifically for cotton bags. If your product is made from synthetic materials, you’ll need to look at HS-630532 for flexible intermediate bulk containers or HS-630533 for polyethylene or polypropylene bags.
If your bags are made from other textile materials not specified in the previous lines, you would classify them under HS-630590. This could include bags made from wool or other textiles. Understanding the material composition is crucial for selecting the correct HS-6 code.
