CHAPTER

63 — Other made-up textile articles; sets; worn clothing and worn textile articles; rags

In plain English

This category covers sacks and bags designed for packing goods, classified by the specific textile material from which they are made. Items made from jute or similar bast fibers, cotton, or other textile materials fall into distinct groups based on their composition. Bags made from man-made textile materials are further separated into flexible intermediate bulk containers and those made from polyethylene or polypropylene strips, with any other man-made materials forming a final group.
