WERE PREVIOUSLY CLASSIFIABLE UNDER HTSUS SUBHEADING 6305.33.0020.
IF ENTERED WITH PLASTIC COATING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FABRIC

FABRIC MEASURE MORE THAN 5 MILLIMETERS IN WIDTH, LAMINATED WOVEN
SACKS MAY BE CLASSIFIABLE UNDER OTHER HTSUS SUBHEADINGS INCLUDING
4601.99.0500, 4601.99.9000, AND 4602.90.000. ALTHOUGH HTSUS
