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 392043 when importing or exporting plates, sheets, film, foil, and strips made from polymers of vinyl chloride that contain at least 6% plasticizers. For example, if you are shipping a roll of non-adhesive plastic film used for packaging, this code applies.
This code specifically covers non-cellular plastic materials that are not reinforced or laminated. In contrast, HS-6 392042 includes similar products but with a different plasticizer content, which could affect your classification and duties.
When dealing with products like vinyl chloride sheets for construction or packaging, ensure they meet the weight percentage criteria for plasticizers. If your product has less than 6% plasticizers, you may need to look at a different HS code.
Understanding the distinction between this code and others in the same heading is crucial. For instance, HS-6 392044 applies to similar products that are self-adhesive, which would not be appropriate for your non-adhesive items.
