Last updated: April 2026 dataSacks and bags made from plastics other than polyethylene — such as polypropylene, PVC, or nylon — enter under a single line (3923290000) and serve diverse end-uses from woven PP agricultural sacks to specialty barrier bags for food and industrial applications. China is the dominant supplier, followed by Mexico and Vietnam. Importers should pay close attention to whether a bag's primary polymer is ethylene-based, since a misidentification of resin type can shift classification to heading 392321, with different duty and trade-remedy implications.

A licensed customs broker can help evaluate the specific construction.
Yes. Plastic sacks and bags of non-ethylene polymers originating in China are subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should verify the current list and any applicable product exclusions with a licensed customs broker, as the scope and rates have been subject to periodic revision.
