Cellulose acetates; plasticised, in primary forms
Heading 3912 — Cellulose and its chemical derivatives, n.e.c. or included, in primary forms
Chapter 39: Plastics and articles thereof
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 391212 when importing or exporting plasticized cellulose acetates in primary forms. For instance, if you’re shipping sheets of plasticized cellulose acetate used in packaging, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers plasticized cellulose acetates, which are often used in applications like film production or as coatings. In contrast, HS-6 391211 refers to unplasticized cellulose acetates, which have different properties and uses.
When dealing with plasticized cellulose acetates, you might encounter products like flexible films or coatings that enhance durability. These materials are commonly utilized in the textile and packaging industries.
If you're unsure whether to classify your product under this code or a similar one, consider the product's flexibility and intended use. For example, if your product is a rigid sheet, it may fall under a different HS code.
