Certain plastic packaging bags fall under Chapter 39 rather than Chapter 63.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GST Rate on Sacks and Bags in India<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The GST rate on sacks and bags depends on their classification and the applicable product-specific entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under Notification No. 9\/2025-Central Tax (Rate), effective from 22 September 2025, the main distinctions include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Textile sacks and bags<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Qualifying made-up textile sacks and bags under Chapter 63, other than specified exclusions, generally attract:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>5% GST<\/strong> when the sale value does not exceed \u20b92,500 per piece.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>18% GST<\/strong> when the sale value exceeds \u20b92,500 per piece.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Polypropylene and polyethylene woven sacks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Woven and non-woven bags and sacks made from polyethylene or polypropylene strips, whether laminated or not, and used for packing goods attract <strong>18% GST<\/strong> under the specific entry covering HSN 3923 or 6305.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Flexible intermediate bulk containers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FIBCs classified under <strong>63053200<\/strong> attract <strong>18% GST<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Other specified synthetic-fibre sacks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Products classified under <strong>63053300<\/strong> are excluded from the general 5% textile entry. Their exact GST treatment should be checked against the specific product description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current notification contains separate entries for these categories. Therefore, the \u20b92,500 threshold should not be applied to PP\/PE woven sacks or FIBCs that are expressly covered by the 18% entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GST Calculation Example<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suppose a packaging supplier sells polypropylene woven sacks worth \u20b920,000, excluding GST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Particular<\/th><th>Amount<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Taxable value<\/td><td>\u20b920,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>GST @ 18%<\/td><td>\u20b93,600<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total invoice value<\/td><td><strong>\u20b923,600<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For an intra-state transaction, the GST amount consists of \u20b91,800 CGST and \u20b91,800 SGST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This example applies to qualifying PP woven packing sacks taxable at 18%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Sacks and Bags Covered Under HSN 6305<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Jute Sacks and Gunny Bags<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jute sacks are commonly used for packing agricultural produce, grains and other bulk commodities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They generally fall under <strong>HSN 630510<\/strong>, with further classification based on their intended use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, jute grain sacks fall under <strong>63051020<\/strong>, while jute sacking bags fall under <strong>63051040<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Cotton Packing Bags<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cotton sacks used for packing goods fall under <strong>HSN 63052000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are commonly used for storing or transporting textile goods, agricultural products and other merchandise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Polypropylene Woven Sacks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PP woven sacks are widely used for packing rice, flour, fertilisers and construction materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on their construction and tariff classification, they may fall under <strong>HSN 63053300<\/strong> or <strong>3923<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Qualifying woven and non-woven PP\/PE strip sacks used for packing goods attract <strong>18% GST<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FIBCs, commonly called jumbo bags or bulk bags, are used to transport large quantities of powders, granules and industrial materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They fall under <strong>HSN 63053200<\/strong> and attract <strong>18% GST<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Difference Between Packing Sacks and Other Bags<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not every product described as a bag falls under HSN 6305.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Bag category<\/th><th>Common HSN heading<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Textile sacks used for packing goods<\/td><td><strong>6305<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Plastic bags and sacks for packing goods<\/td><td><strong>3923<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Paper sacks and bags<\/td><td><strong>4819<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Handbags and certain shopping bags<\/td><td><strong>4202<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The correct heading depends on the material, design and intended use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, a jute sack used to transport grain generally falls under 6305, while a finished jute fashion handbag may fall under 4202.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For broader packaging classifications, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/mybillbook.in\/blog\/hsn-code\/hsn-code-for-packaging-materials\/\">HSN code for packaging materials<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs About Sacks and Bags HSN Codes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the HSN code for sacks and bags?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The HSN code for sacks and bags used for packing goods is <strong>6305<\/strong>. The exact eight-digit classification depends on the material and construction of the bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the GST rate on jute sacks and bags?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Qualifying jute packing sacks under Chapter 63 generally attract 5% GST when the sale value does not exceed \u20b92,500 per piece and 18% when it exceeds \u20b92,500 per piece, subject to the applicable GST entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the HSN code for PP woven bags?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PP woven packing bags may fall under <strong>63053300<\/strong> or <strong>3923<\/strong>, depending on their construction.
