About HS Code 392061

This HS code covers non-cellular, non-reinforced plates, sheets, film, foil, and strip made from polycarbonates (PC), which are not self-adhesive or combined with other materials. Polycarbonate is a high-performance thermoplastic renowned for its exceptional impact strength, optical clarity, and heat resistance. These properties make PC an ideal material for applications requiring durability and transparency, such as safety glazing, machine guards, optical discs, and automotive components. Major importers include the automotive, electronics, construction, and security industries. Exporters are typically large chemical and plastics manufacturers. Key trade considerations include UV protection, scratch resistance coatings, specific grades for optical or flame-retardant applications, and compliance with safety standards for various end-uses.

Products Under This Code

Polycarbonate sheets, PC film for graphic overlays, Bullet-resistant PC panels, Multiwall PC sheets, Optical grade PC film, PC glazing sheets, Thermoformable PC sheets.

Real World Examples

Lexan (Sabic), Makrolon (Covestro), Palsun (Palram), Gallina (multiwall PC sheets).

Common Misclassification

Can be confused with acrylic sheets (392051) due to similar transparency, but PC offers superior impact resistance. Also, sometimes mistaken for glass (7004, 7005) in glazing applications.
