HS code for Nylon sacks: 6305.39
Sacks and bags, of a kind used for the packing of goods, of man-made textile materials, not of polyethylene or polypropylene strip or the like, not flexible intermediate bulk containers.
Classification of nylon sacks under HS 6305.39
Nylon sacks are classified under HS code 6305.39 because they are considered made-up textile articles specifically designed for the packing of goods. This subheading falls under Chapter 63, which covers other made-up textile articles, sets, and worn clothing. The classification logic is based on the material composition and the intended use of the product. Since nylon is a synthetic polymer processed into textile fibers and then woven into a fabric, it is categorized as a man-made textile material. HS code 6305.39 specifically excludes sacks made from polyethylene or polypropylene strips (which are covered under 6305.33) and flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs, covered under 6305.32). To qualify for this code, the sacks must be constructed from woven nylon fabric and intended for industrial, agricultural, or commercial packaging and transport. The classification remains consistent regardless of whether the sacks are used for bulk grains, chemicals, or consumer goods, provided the base material is a woven man-made textile other than the excluded poly-strips.

Codes often confused with 6305.39
Common mistake. Nylon sacks are frequently misclassified under HS code 3923.21 or 3923.29, which cover bags and sacks made of plastic sheeting or film. While nylon is a plastic resin, once it is converted into textile yarn and woven, it must be classified in the textile chapters (50-63). Another common error is using 6305.33, which is reserved for sacks made of polyethylene or polypropylene strips (raffia-style bags). If the sack is made of traditional woven nylon fabric, 6305.39 is the correct designation.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
