HS Code 3920.62 – Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip (not self-adhesive), of poly(ethylene terephthalate), non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials

HS code 3920.62 is the 6-digit subheading for plastics, plates, sheets, film, foil and strip (not self-adhesive), of poly(ethylene terephthalate), non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials. It is used for PET film for packaging, APET sheets, RPET sheets, PETG sheets and polyester film for printing.

What HS 3920.62 covers

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.

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).
