Last updated: April 2026 dataSmaller paper bags, retail sacks, and paper cones not captured by the wide-base heading fall here — a residual category that encompasses grocery bags, bakery bags, twisted-handle shopping bags, and specialty cones used in food service and retail. The 'not elsewhere specified' designation means classification is confirmed by exclusion: the article must not meet the 40 cm base-width threshold of the adjacent heading and must not be a corrugated or folding-carton form. Retail-ready bags with printing, handles, or coatings are common in this flow, and the presence of a plastic coating or lamination can shift classification toward composite packaging headings.

Printed retail shopping bags with twisted paper or flat handles are generally classified here provided they are made predominantly of paper and do not meet the wide-base threshold. However, bags with substantial plastic lamination or handles of a different material may require a composite-goods analysis. Verifying material composition with the supplier before entry helps avoid reclassification.
Paper cones are specifically named within this heading and are typically used in food service (e.g., for nuts, confections, or ice cream) or industrial filtration. Their conical geometry and open-top form distinguish them from flat-bottom bags and folding cartons. If a cone incorporates a significant non-paper component, a composite classification review may be warranted.
