Other plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics
26 declarable lines
Heading 3921 covers other plates, sheets, film, foil and strip of plastics, excluding self-adhesive goods of heading 3919 and noncellular unreinforced goods of heading 3920. It first separates cellular products from other products, then splits by polymer type and by whether the plastic is combined with textile materials. For textile combinations, the subheading depends on weight and on which textile fiber predominates.
Products in this heading
- Cellular polystyrene foam sheet
- Cellular PVC foam panel laminated to textile fabric
- Polyurethane foam sheet with textile backing
- Cellular regenerated cellulose film
- Microporous polyethylene film
- Flexible plastic sheet reinforced with paper
- High pressure paper reinforced decorative laminate
How to choose the right subheading
- Check whether the plastic sheet or film is cellular or noncellular: cellular lines are 3921.11 through 3921.19, while other noncellular goods sit in 3921.90.
- Identify the polymer: styrene, vinyl chloride, polyurethane, regenerated cellulose, or other plastics.
- Check whether the product is combined with textile materials and, if so, which textile fiber predominates by weight.
- For noncellular textile combinations, check the weight threshold: not more than 1.492 kg/m2 or more than 1.492 kg/m2.
- For man-made fiber textile combinations, check whether plastics are over 70% by weight; for 3921.90 other goods, decide flexible vs other, paper-reinforced vs other, and high pressure decorative laminate.
