Last updated: July 2026 dataWoven polyethylene and polypropylene strip bags are a high-volume industrial packaging format used for fertilizers, animal feed, cement, and similar bulk commodities. The US schedule distinguishes these bags by weight and lamination: line 6305330010 covers bags at or above 1 kg, while lines 6305330040, 6305330060, and 6305330080 subdivide lighter bags by lamination and print characteristics. India leads US imports in this category, with Thailand and Vietnam also significant sources. Importers should note that laminated or printed bags may face different duty treatment than unlaminated equivalents.

The US tariff schedule under 6305.33 explicitly separates laminated bags weighing less than 1 kg into distinct lines (6305330040 and 6305330060), with further distinctions based on the number of colors printed. Unlaminated bags of the same weight fall under 6305330080. Importers should obtain clear specifications from manufacturers on lamination and print details to ensure correct line selection.
The key distinction is construction: bags made from woven strips or tapes of polyethylene or polypropylene are textile articles classified in chapter 63, while bags made from plastic sheeting or film (non-woven) are classified in chapter 39. The woven structure of the strip or tape is the defining characteristic for chapter 63 classification.
