About HS Code 392020

This HS code covers non-self-adhesive plates, sheets, film, foil, and strip made from *polymers of propylene* (PP), which are non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported, or similarly combined with other materials. Polypropylene films and sheets are valued for their higher stiffness, clarity, heat resistance, and barrier properties compared to polyethylene, making them ideal for specific packaging, stationery, textile, and automotive interior applications. Importers and exporters include packaging companies, stationery manufacturers, and automotive component suppliers. The trade reflects the diverse industrial demand for PP's unique balance of properties in various manufacturing processes.

Products Under This Code

BOPP film for food packaging, PP sheets for stationery folders, clear plastic boxes (PP sheet), non-woven PP fabric (film precursor), capacitor film, automotive interior trim sheets, disposable face shield visors

Real World Examples

Snack food packaging film (BOPP), clear plastic report covers, disposable face shield visors (PP sheet), capacitor film, certain types of clear plastic containers

Common Misclassification

The crucial distinction is 'polymers of propylene' versus 'polymers of ethylene' (392010). Both are non-self-adhesive and non-reinforced.
