Plastics; of polymers of styrene, plates, sheets, film, foil and strip (not self-adhesive), non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials
Heading 3920 — Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip (not self-adhesive); non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, n.e.c. in chapter 39
Chapter 39: Plastics and articles thereof
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 392030 when importing or exporting non-cellular plastic sheets and films made from styrene polymers. For example, a shipment of clear plastic sheets used for packaging or protective coverings falls under this code.
This code specifically covers plates, sheets, films, and strips that are not self-adhesive and are made solely from styrene-based polymers. In contrast, HS-6 392031 includes similar products that are self-adhesive, so it's crucial to distinguish between them based on adhesive properties.
When dealing with products like plastic film for food packaging or sheets for construction, ensure they are not reinforced or laminated with other materials to qualify for this classification. If they are combined with other substances, you may need to look at different HS codes.
Understanding the specifics of HS-6 392030 helps in correctly classifying products to avoid delays in customs. Always check the product specifications and packaging details to confirm the right code.
