Last updated: April 2026 dataPlastic sacks, bags, and cones—used across retail, food service, agriculture, and industrial packaging—are among the most widely traded flexible packaging products entering the US market. Section 301 tariffs have affected imports from certain major producing countries, making origin documentation and first-sale valuation strategies particularly relevant for high-volume buyers. The heading covers a broad range of constructions, from thin polyethylene grocery bags to heavy-duty woven polypropylene sacks, and the specific polymer type and construction method can influence classification at the 10-digit HTS level.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
At the 10-digit level, US tariff schedules distinguish among bags made of different polymers (e.g., polyethylene, polypropylene, other plastics) and by construction (e.g., woven versus non-woven). Importers should specify the exact resin type and manufacturing process on the commercial invoice to ensure accurate classification and avoid CBP reappraisement or penalty for misclassification.
Plastic bags sold at retail in the US must be marked with the country of origin in a conspicuous location, either on the bag itself or on its retail packaging, in accordance with 19 CFR Part 134. For bags imported in bulk and repackaged domestically, the importer must ensure that the marking requirement is satisfied before the goods reach the ultimate purchaser. Failure to mark correctly can result in CBP withholding of release or assessment of marking duties.
