About HS Code 392062

This category encompasses non-cellular, non-reinforced plates, sheets, film, foil, and strip made from poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), which are not self-adhesive or combined with other materials. PET is a widely used polyester known for its strength, clarity, excellent barrier properties, and recyclability. While PET is famous for beverage bottles, in sheet/film form, it's crucial for packaging (food, electronics), graphic arts, and industrial applications like electrical insulation. Importers include packaging manufacturers, printing companies, and producers of electrical components. Exporters are typically large petrochemical companies and specialized film manufacturers. Trade often involves specific grades like APET, RPET, or PETG, and considerations for thickness, surface treatment, and barrier performance tailored to the end-use, from food contact to high-temperature applications.

Products Under This Code

PET film for packaging, APET sheets, RPET sheets, PETG sheets, Polyester film for printing, PET electrical insulation film, Thermoformable PET sheets.

Real World Examples

Mylar (DuPont Teijin Films), Hostaphan (Mitsubishi Polyester Film), Veralite (Covestro, for PETG), Eastman (PETG).

Common Misclassification

Can be confused with other polyester films (392069) if the specific polymer isn't identified as PET. Also, sometimes mistaken for other clear packaging films like PVC (39204x) or PP (392020).
