About HS Code 392093
This code covers non-cellular sheets, films, and strips made from amino-resins (e.g., urea-formaldehyde, melamine-formaldehyde), not self-adhesive, reinforced, laminated, or combined. These materials are traded for their hard, scratch-resistant surfaces, good electrical insulation properties, and chemical resistance. They are frequently used as decorative laminates, electrical components, and in specialized industrial applications. International trade involves manufacturers of furniture, construction materials, and electrical goods seeking durable and aesthetically pleasing surfaces or insulating layers. Importers are typically fabricators and end-product manufacturers. Exporters are chemical companies and plastic converters specializing in thermoset resins. The market is driven by construction and interior design trends, as well as the demand for robust electrical components in various industries.
Products Under This Code
Melamine decorative sheets, Urea-formaldehyde film, Electrical insulation sheets, High-pressure laminate core material, Printed circuit board substrates, Furniture surface films, Chemical-resistant liners
Real World Examples
Formica (laminates), Wilsonart (laminates), Arpa Industriale (HPL), Egger (laminates), Sumitomo Bakelite (electrical components)
Common Misclassification
Can be confused with 392094 (phenolic resins) due to similar thermoset applications, or 392190 (other plates, sheets, film, etc., of plastics) if the specific resin type is not identified.
Products Classified Under 3920.93
Industry
This code belongs to the Plastics & Rubber industry.
Trade Overview
China, the US, and Germany are significant importers, while Europe and Asia are key exporting regions.
