3923.29.00.00 - Of other plastics

This HTS classification, 3923.29.00.00, covers sacks and bags, including cones, manufactured from plastics other than those specifically classified elsewhere. This broad category encompasses a wide array of flexible packaging solutions like retail shopping bags, garbage bags, industrial sacks for bulk goods, and small pouches, provided they are not made from polymers of ethylene. The distinguishing factor for items falling under this code is the specific type of plastic used in their construction, excluding the prominent category for polyethylene-based products.

The parent heading, "Articles for the conveyance or packing of goods, of plastics; stoppers, lids, caps and other closures, of plastics," establishes that the items must primarily serve a packaging or conveyance purpose. Within this, the subheading "Sacks and bags (including cones)" narrows the scope to flexible containers. While 3923.21.00.00 specifically enumerates sacks and bags made of polymers of ethylene (such as polyethylene), this code, 3923.29.00.00, captures all other plastic sacks and bags, including those made from polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyester, or other plastic resins.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions under this specific code. Therefore, classification within 3923.29.00.00 relies solely on the material composition being a plastic other than ethylene polymers and the item's function as a sack, bag, or cone for packing or conveyance. Importers and exporters should carefully verify the plastic resin used to ensure accurate classification and avoid misdeclaration.
