What decides the code
Dog poop bags of polyethylene are plastic sacks for packing goods, classified under heading 3923 in subheading 3923.21.00.95.
- Material decides the subheading. Bags of polymers of ethylene fall in 3923.21.00.95. Bags of other plastics fall in a different subheading of heading 3923.
- The article must be a sack or bag for conveyance or packing of goods. Rolls of flat film that are not formed into bags do not take this subheading.
- Construction as a bag, with sides joined and an open mouth, keeps the item in heading 3923. Sheets or film on rolls are classified as film, not as bags.
Common mistakes
- Classifying under 3924 as household articles is wrong. These bags are packing sacks of plastics, so heading 3923 covers them.
- Using 3923.29 for polyethylene bags is wrong. That subheading covers sacks and bags of other plastics, not of polymers of ethylene.
- Classifying under 4823 as paper articles is wrong. Polyethylene bags are plastics articles, so heading 3923 applies.
