HS Code 3920.61 – Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip (not self-adhesive), of polycarbonates, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials

HS code 3920.61 is the 6-digit subheading for plastics, plates, sheets, film, foil and strip (not self-adhesive), of polycarbonates, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials. It is used for polycarbonate sheets, PC film for graphic overlays, bullet-resistant PC panels, multiwall PC sheets and optical grade PC film.

What HS 3920.61 covers

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.

Codes often confused with 3920.61

Common mistake. 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.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
