Classification of jute sacks under HS 6305.10
Jute sacks and bags used for the packing of goods are classified under HS code 6305.10. This classification is found within Chapter 63, which covers other made-up textile articles. Heading 6305 specifically addresses sacks and bags of a kind used for the packing of goods. The subheading 6305.10 is restricted to those made of jute or other textile bast fibers of heading 5303, such as kenaf.

It is important to note that the bags must be of a type used for packing; decorative bags or personal carrying bags made of jute would be classified elsewhere based on their specific use and construction.

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).
