Classification of burlap bags under HS 6305.10
Burlap bags, also known as jute sacks, are classified under HS code 6305.10. This code is part of Chapter 63, which covers made-up textile articles, specifically those used for the packing of goods. Heading 6305 is dedicated to sacks and bags of a kind used for the packing of goods. Subheading 6305.10 is specific to those made of jute or other textile bast fibers of heading 53.03. Burlap is a coarse fabric woven from the skin of the jute plant or similar vegetable fibers. These bags are widely used in agriculture for the transport of bulk commodities like coffee beans, potatoes, rice, and grains due to their breathability and durability. The classification is straightforward based on the material composition (bast fibers) and the functional design (a sack for packing). To fall under this code, the bags must be \"made up,\" meaning they are sewn or otherwise finished into a container shape, rather than being simple rolls of burlap fabric, which would be classified in Chapter 53 as woven fabrics.

Codes often confused with 6305.10
Common mistake. Burlap bags are often misclassified under 6305.33, which is for bags made of man-made textile materials like polypropylene. While they look similar in function, the material origin is the deciding factor. They might also be confused with 4202.92, which covers shopping bags or rucksacks; however, 6305 is specifically for industrial or agricultural packing sacks, which are generally more utilitarian and lack the features of consumer luggage.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
