Last updated: April 2026 dataFlexible intermediate bulk containers — commonly called FIBCs or "big bags" — are large industrial sacks designed to transport and store bulk materials such as chemicals, minerals, and agricultural products. The US schedule splits this heading by net weight capacity: line 6305320010 covers containers at or above 1 kg, while 6305320020 covers those below 1 kg. India is the leading supplier, a reflection of its large woven polypropylene fabric manufacturing base, with Mexico and Vietnam also notable sources. FIBCs from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs, a factor that has shifted some sourcing toward India and Vietnam.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Both subheadings cover manmade-fiber bags, but 6305.32 is specifically for flexible intermediate bulk containers — large-capacity industrial bags typically exceeding 500 kg fill weight — while 6305.33 covers smaller polyethylene or polypropylene strip bags used for retail or light industrial packing. The FIBC designation is defined by design intent and capacity, not solely by fiber type.
FIBCs used for hazardous materials must comply with UN performance standards and may require certification markings. While CBP does not conduct a separate admissibility review for standard FIBCs, buyers in chemical or pharmaceutical supply chains should confirm that containers meet applicable OSHA and DOT requirements before importation.
