Questions about NCM 3920.20.12

What is NCM 3920.20.12?

NCM 3920.20.12 (39202012) is the Brazilian (Mercosur) code for rough-surface dielectric BOPP film, max 13 µm. Its official Portuguese description is “De largura inferior ou igual a 1 m e espessura inferior ou igual a 13 micrômetros (mícrons), com uma ou ambas as faces rugosas de rugosidade relativa (relação entre a espessura média e a máxima) igual ou superior a 6 %, de rigidez dielétrica igual ou superior a 500 V/micrômetro (Norma ASTM D 3755-97), em rolos”.

What is the HS code for NCM 3920.20.12?

HS 3920.20 (Plastics; of polymers of propylene, plates, sheets, film, foil and strip (not self-adhesive), non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials). The first 6 digits of an NCM code are its international HS code; the last 2 digits are Brazil's own split.

Is an NCM code the same as an HS code?

The first 6 digits are the same in every country. NCM adds an item digit (7th) and a subitem digit (8th). A code ending in 00 means Brazil does not split that HS code further.

Which countries use NCM 3920.20.12?

All Mercosur members use the same NCM codes: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay.
