What determines the tariff number?
- Material composition. Pure cotton is classified differently from cotton blended with synthetic fibres or bags made from linen, jute, or plastic materials. The material forms the foundation of the tariff classification.
- Construction and closure type. Whether your cotton bag features a zip fastener, drawstring closure, or open-top design affects the exact tariff code. Manufacturing method and seam quality also play a role.
- Intended use or purpose. A cotton bag can be designed as a travel tote, everyday handbag, document carrier, or school rucksack. The primary use case is a key factor in determining the correct tariff number.
- Size and weight specifications. Dimensions and weight of the cotton bag may be decisive in borderline cases between different tariff codes and must be accurately documented for classification.
