4819.30.00 - Sacks and bags, having a base of a width of 40 cm or more

HTS code 4819.30.00 encompasses sacks and bags specifically designed for packaging and containment, characterized by a base width of 40 cm or more. This category is distinguished from other packing containers within heading 4819 by its focus on flexible, sack-like or bag-like structures rather than rigid boxes or cases. Unlike sibling categories such as 4819.10.00 (cartons, boxes, and cases of corrugated paperboard) and 4819.20.00 (folding cartons and cases of non-corrugated paperboard), this classification pertains to items that are typically filled and sealed, often for the bulk transport or storage of goods. It also differs from 4819.40.00 (other sacks and bags, including cones), as this latter category covers smaller or more specialized bags and cones not meeting the 40 cm base width criterion.

The subcategories within 4819.30.00 provide further specificity based on the type and intended use of these large sacks and bags. 4819.30.00.20 covers shipping sacks and multiwall bags, which are commonly used for industrial purposes, agricultural products, or bulk commodities, and are distinguished by their robust construction designed for heavy loads and transit. The subdivision 4819.30.00.40, "Other," serves as a residual category for sacks and bags with a base width of 40 cm or more that do not fit the specific description of shipping sacks or multiwall bags, ensuring comprehensive coverage within this classification.
