Chapter 63

[Tikam Rawat]

We are manufacturer / exporter of all type of handicraft items including textiles i.e. Table Cover, Cushion Cover, Napkins, Table Mats, Apron, Bags made out of all type of fabrics other than leather which are covered under chapter 63

In these days customs view is that the Bags should be covered under chapter 42 (ARTICLES OF LEATHER; SADDLERY AND HARNESS, TRAVEL GOODS, HAND BAGS AND SIMILAR CONTAINERS; ARTICLES OF ANIMAL GUT) instead of 63 (OTHER MADE UP TEXTILE ARTICLES; SETS; WORN CLOTHING AND WORN TEXTILE ARTICLES; RAGS)

Please confirm that the Bags made out of Cotton Fabric will be covered under chapter 63 with a documentry evidence to protest with customs

Thanks / Tikam Rawat

 

 

AI Summary

Classification of textile bags as travel/hand/shopping bags under customs tariff, while packing sacks fall under packing goods category.
Dispute whether cotton fabric bags are classifiable as packing sacks for goods or as travel/hand/shopping bags: packing sacks apply to bags used for packing commodities, while travel/hand/shopping bags made of textile fibres fall under the tariff heading that covers bags of textile materials; a tribunal decision is cited in support of the textile bag classification.
