Flexible intermediate bulk containers

This code covers flexible intermediate bulk containers – large sacks and bags made of man-made textiles used for packing goods. Use this code for importing these containers, keeping in mind a general duty of 8.40% applies, though preferential rates or even free duty may apply for goods originating from certain countries with whom the US has trade agreements.

Detailed information for HTS Code 6305.32.00

Chapter 63 covers made up textile articles, and this specific provision, 6305.32.00, deals with flexible intermediate bulk containers—essentially large sacks and bags used for packing goods, made from man-made textiles. This code further breaks down into two statistical reporting suffixes: 6305.32.00.10 for containers weighing one kg or more, and 6305.32.00.20 for all other containers, so choose the suffix that accurately reflects the weight of the item being reported. Duty rates are generally 8.40% but can be free for goods originating from specific countries participating in eligible free trade agreements or preference programs.
