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
In plain English
This category covers non-adhesive plastic sheets, films, foils, and strips that are solid and not combined with other materials. The items are sorted by the specific type of plastic they are made from, such as ethylene, propylene, styrene, or vinyl chloride. Other divisions include plastics based on acrylics, polycarbonates, polyesters, cellulose derivatives, and various resins. Any plastic not listed in these specific groups falls into the final remaining category.

Chapter 39 classification notes
Frequent misclassification in this chapter
Composite articles (e.g., plastic with textile lining) — classify by the material giving essential character. Silicone products are often misclassified here but belong in Chapter 39.
Classification certainty
The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
