Last updated: August 2026 dataPolypropylene woven bags and bags of other manmade fibers dominate modern bulk packaging for fertilizers, chemicals, pet food, and construction materials, offering high tensile strength and moisture resistance that natural fiber alternatives cannot match. Section 301 tariff exposure is a live concern for manmade textile bags sourced from China, making origin diversification — particularly to Southeast Asian producers — a common supply-chain strategy. Fiber type (polyester, polypropylene, nylon) and whether the fabric is coated or laminated are the primary classification variables within this heading.

A coating or lamination of plastic on a woven manmade fiber bag can shift classification away from the textile heading and into a plastics heading, depending on the weight and nature of the coating relative to the textile substrate. Importers should obtain detailed construction specifications from the manufacturer and confirm classification with a customs broker.
Many manmade textile bag products sourced from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs. The specific list and rate applicable to a given product depend on the precise HTS classification, so verifying the correct 10-digit code and current Section 301 list status is essential before importing.
