HS Code 3920.92 – Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip (not self-adhesive), of polyamides, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials

HS code 3920.92 is the 6-digit subheading for plastics, plates, sheets, film, foil and strip (not self-adhesive), of polyamides, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials. It is used for nylon film for food packaging, polyamide barrier film, vacuum packaging film, industrial protective film and electrical insulation sheets.

What HS 3920.92 covers

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.

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).
