Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 392069 when importing or exporting non-adhesive polyester films, sheets, or strips that are not reinforced or laminated. For example, a shipment of clear polyester film used for packaging food items falls under this code.

This code specifically targets non-cellular polyester products that are not combined with other materials. In contrast, HS-6 392071 covers self-adhesive polyester films, which are used for labels and stickers.

When classifying under this heading, it’s crucial to ensure the product is indeed non-adhesive and not reinforced. For instance, a rigid polyester sheet intended for display purposes would qualify, while a laminated version would not.

If you are dealing with polyester sheets that have a specific end-use, such as in construction or automotive applications, ensure you check if they meet the criteria for this HS-6 code.
