Drawstring bag Hs Code

Drawstring bag harmonized system code

Product Overview The drawstring bag classified under HS Code 630790 is a flexible, reusable carrying container primarily composed of woven or non-woven textile materials, featuring a closure mechanism operated by pulling cords or strings. Typically constructed from cotton, polyester, or blended fabrics, these bags exhibit dimensions ranging from small personal sizes (approximately 20 cm x 30 cm) up to larger capacities exceeding 50 cm x 70 cm, with fabric weights varying between 80 to 200 grams per square meter (gsm). The manufacturing process involves cutting, stitching, and the integration of drawstring channels, ensuring durability and functional ease. Under HS Code 630790, which covers “Other made-up textile articles, including dress patterns,” drawstring bags fall within a subcategory dedicated to textile bags excluding those specifically designed for specialized industrial use. These bags find extensive application across food service (e.g., bakery and produce packaging), retail sectors (e.g., promotional and merchandising uses), and light processing industries requiring lightweight, breathable containment solutions. Their value proposition lies in cost-effective production, reusability, and compliance with environmental regulations, positioning them competitively in global markets where sustainable packaging alternatives are increasingly demanded. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The complete HS Code for drawstring bags is 630790, structured hierarchically as follows: Chapter 63 – “Other made-up textile articles; sets; worn clothing and worn textile articles; rags,” Heading 6307 – “Other made-up articles, including dress patterns,” and Subheading 630790 – “Other made-up textile articles.” This classification is justified by the product’s composition of textile materials and its function as a non-specialized carrying or storage accessory, distinct from categories covering industrial sacks or specialized containers. Trade considerations include packaging in bulk cartons or pallets, with moisture-resistant wrapping to preserve fabric integrity during transit. Preservation methods focus on preventing mold and mildew through controlled humidity and ventilation. Shipping requirements often mandate compliance with international standards such as ISPM 15 for wooden packaging materials and adherence to WTO agreements on tariff classification and valuation. Quality standards applicable to these bags include ISO 9001 for manufacturing quality management and OEKO-TEX certification to ensure absence of harmful substances, supporting seamless customs clearance and regulatory compliance in import/export operations.
