Polypropylene Woven Rice Sacks from Japan
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.

Import Tips
• Verify the strip width (typically under 5mm) and woven construction to confirm classification under 6305.33.00; non-woven may shift to 6305.32
• Include mill test certificates showing polyethylene/polypropylene composition and ensure bales are properly labeled for customs
