HS-6 · Subheading
392049
Plastics; polymers of vinyl chloride, containing by weight, less than 6% of plasticisers; 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 392049 when importing or exporting non-adhesive plastic sheets and films made from vinyl chloride polymers that contain less than 6% plasticizers. For example, a shipment of clear plastic sheets used for protective covers would fall under this code.
This code specifically targets non-cellular, non-reinforced plastic materials. In contrast, HS-6 392051 covers similar products but includes those that are self-adhesive, which would not apply here.
When dealing with HS-6 392049, note that it excludes laminated or supported materials. If your product has any additional layers or reinforcements, you may need to look at different classifications.
Understanding the distinctions between this code and nearby classifications is crucial for compliance. For instance, HS-6 392059 includes other types of non-cellular plastics that may have different properties or uses.
