About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2.

Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification covers bait bags constructed from textile materials and equipped with drawstrings for closure. These bags are specifically designed to hold and transport fishing bait, facilitating their use by anglers. The drawstrings serve as the primary mechanism for securing the contents within the bag.

While this category encompasses all bait bags with drawstrings, its sibling classification, 5608.19.20.90, covers "Other" made-up nets of textile materials that do not fit the specific criteria for bait bags with drawstring closures. Therefore, the key differentiator lies in the explicit design and function of the bag as a bait holder with an integrated drawstring mechanism.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 5608.19.20.10 is dependent on the presence of both the bait bag function and the drawstring closure. This specificity ensures that articles designed for carrying bait and utilizing a drawstring are precisely categorized.
