The sacks are made of polypropylene woven strips. The strips meet the dimensional requirements of man-made fiber strips contained in Section XI, Legal Note 1 (g) of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS). The sacks are open at one end. Metal grommets are situated along the top, open edge, of the white sack. The inside of the blue sack contains a plastic bag. The sacks measure 40" x 54". The sacks are used for exporting of used shoes and rags from the United States. The applicable subheading for the sacks will be 6305.33.0020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for sacks and bags, of a kind used for the packing of goods: Of man-made textile materials: Other, of polyethylene or polypropylene strip or the like, other.
