Polypropylene Woven Rice Sacks

Heavy-duty sacks made from polypropylene strip woven fabric, designed specifically for packing rice grains to prevent spillage and moisture ingress. These fall under HTS 6305.33.00 as they are bags of polyethylene or polypropylene strip or the like, used for packing goods in bulk. The strip construction provides strength for agricultural transport.
