About HS Code 392092

This HS code pertains to non-cellular sheets, films, and strips made from polyamides (nylon), which are not self-adhesive, reinforced, laminated, or combined with other materials. Polyamide materials are highly valued in international trade for their exceptional strength, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and excellent barrier properties, particularly against oxygen. These characteristics make them indispensable in demanding applications where durability and protection are paramount. Importers include manufacturers of flexible packaging for food and medical products, industrial components, and specialized electrical insulation. Exporters are typically large chemical and plastics manufacturers with advanced extrusion capabilities. The trade is influenced by global food packaging trends, the growth of the electronics industry, and the increasing need for high-performance engineering plastics.

Products Under This Code

Nylon film for food packaging, Polyamide barrier film, Vacuum packaging film, Industrial protective film, Electrical insulation sheets, High-strength engineering film, Medical device packaging

Real World Examples

BASF Ultramid, DuPont Zytel, Arkema Rilsan, Honeywell Capran, Mitsubishi Chemical (various nylon films)

Common Misclassification

Can be confused with 392069 (of other polyethers) or 392099 (other plastics n.e.c.) if the specific polyamide nature is not clearly identified, especially for high-performance films.
