About HS Code 392010

This code covers non-self-adhesive plates, sheets, film, foil, and strip made from *polymers of ethylene* (e.g., LDPE, HDPE, LLDPE), which are non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported, or similarly combined with other materials. These are fundamental plastic materials, widely used for packaging, agricultural films, construction barriers, and various industrial applications due to their flexibility, moisture barrier properties, and chemical resistance. Importers and exporters include raw material suppliers, packaging manufacturers, agricultural suppliers, and construction material distributors. The trade in these goods is a cornerstone of the global plastics industry, supporting numerous downstream manufacturing sectors.

Products Under This Code

Polyethylene film for packaging, HDPE sheets for geomembranes, stretch wrap film, agricultural mulch film, construction vapor barriers, plastic bags (unprinted rolls), shrink wrap, trash can liners

Real World Examples

Glad Cling Wrap (LDPE), Tyvek HomeWrap (base film is HDPE), pallet stretch film, greenhouse film, pond liners (HDPE sheet)

Common Misclassification

Key is 'polymers of ethylene' and 'not self-adhesive'. It's distinct from 392020 (propylene) and 3919 (self-adhesive).
