About HS Code 630533

This HS code covers sacks and bags made from man-made textile materials, specifically polyethylene or polypropylene strip or the like, used for packing goods, but explicitly excluding Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs). These are typically smaller, conventional woven sacks used for packaging a wide array of products such as rice, sugar, animal feed, cement, and fertilizers. They are highly valued in international trade for their strength, moisture resistance, and cost-effectiveness, making them a ubiquitous packaging solution globally. Manufacturing is highly industrialized, with significant global trade volumes driven by the demand from agricultural, food, and construction sectors. Importers include food distributors, agricultural businesses, and construction material suppliers worldwide.

Products Under This Code

Polypropylene woven sacks, polyethylene strip bags, rice sacks, sugar bags, cement bags, fertilizer bags, animal feed bags
