Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 392020 when importing or exporting non-cellular plastic sheets and films made from polypropylene. For example, if you're shipping rolls of polypropylene film used in packaging, this is the correct code.

This code specifically applies to plates, sheets, film, foil, and strips made from propylene polymers that are not self-adhesive or reinforced. In contrast, HS-6 392021 covers similar products but may include self-adhesive features.

When dealing with polypropylene sheets that are laminated or combined with other materials, you should look at different codes, as HS-6 392020 is strictly for non-combined forms. This distinction is crucial for accurate classification.

Understanding the specifics of this HS-6 line helps ensure compliance and proper duty assessment. If you have polypropylene products that are not reinforced or laminated, this is the line to use.
