Classification of CELLOPHANE BAGS under the Harmonized System (HS)
Based on the provided reference data, classifying "CELLOPHANE BAGS" requires careful consideration of the material and intended use. Here's a breakdown of potential HS codes and relevant considerations:
1. 3923210085 - Articles for the conveyance or packing of goods, of plastics; stoppers, lids, caps and other closures, of plastics: Sacks and bags (including cones): Of polymers of ethylene
- 39: Plastics and articles thereof. This chapter covers articles made of plastics.
- 23: Plastics and articles thereof. This subheading focuses on articles for conveyance or packing.
- 21: Plastics and articles thereof. This further specifies sacks and bags.
- 0085: Plastics and articles thereof. This specifically covers sacks and bags made of polymers of ethylene.
- Applicability: If the cellophane bags are primarily made of polyethylene plastic, this is a strong candidate. However, traditional cellophane is cellulose-based, not polyethylene.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 3.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total: 58.0%
2. 3923210095 - Articles for the conveyance or packing of goods, of plastics; stoppers, lids, caps and other closures, of plastics: Sacks and bags (including cones): Of polymers of ethylene Other
- 39: Plastics and articles thereof. This chapter covers articles made of plastics.
- 23: Plastics and articles thereof. This subheading focuses on articles for conveyance or packing.
- 21: Plastics and articles thereof. This further specifies sacks and bags.
- 0095: Plastics and articles thereof. This covers sacks and bags made of other polymers of ethylene.
- Applicability: If the cellophane bags are made of other polymers of ethylene, this is a strong candidate.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 3.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total: 58.0%
3. 4819400020 - Cartons, boxes, cases, bags and other packing containers, of paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibers; box files, letter trays and similar articles, of paper or paperboard of a kind used in offices, shops or the like: Other sacks and bags, including cones Shipping sacks and multiwall bags, other than grocers' bags
- 48: Paper and paperboard; articles thereof. This chapter covers products made of paper.
- 19: Paper and paperboard; articles thereof. This subheading focuses on cartons, boxes, and bags.
- 40: Paper and paperboard; articles thereof. This further specifies sacks and bags.
- 0020: Paper and paperboard; articles thereof. This specifically covers shipping sacks and multiwall bags.
- Applicability: If the bags are made of paper or cellulose-based material and are used for shipping, this code may apply.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total: 55.0%
4. 4819400040 - Cartons, boxes, cases, bags and other packing containers, of paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibers; box files, letter trays and similar articles, of paper or paperboard of a kind used in offices, shops or the like: Other sacks and bags, including cones Other
- 48: Paper and paperboard; articles thereof. This chapter covers products made of paper.
- 19: Paper and paperboard; articles thereof. This subheading focuses on cartons, boxes, and bags.
- 40: Paper and paperboard; articles thereof. This further specifies sacks and bags.
- 0040: Paper and paperboard; articles thereof. This covers other sacks and bags.
- Applicability: If the bags are made of paper or cellulose-based material and are not used for shipping, this code may apply.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total: 55.0%
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: Crucially, determine the primary material of the bags. Is it truly cellophane (cellulose-based film), or a plastic such as polyethylene?
- Usage: How are the bags intended to be used? (e.g., food packaging, shipping, retail).
- Certification: Depending on the intended use (especially food contact), specific certifications may be required.
- Declaration Accuracy: Ensure the declared material composition accurately reflects the product.
- Consultation: It's recommended to consult with a customs broker or relevant authority to confirm the correct HS code based on the specific characteristics of your product.
