HS Code 3920.93 – Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip (not self-adhesive), of amino-resins, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials
HS code 3920.93 is the 6-digit subheading for plastics, plates, sheets, film, foil and strip (not self-adhesive), of amino-resins, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials. It is used for melamine decorative sheets, urea-formaldehyde film, electrical insulation sheets, high-pressure laminate core material and printed circuit board substrates.
What HS 3920.93 covers
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.

Top exporters and importers of HS code 392093, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 392093 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 77% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was China, with 22% of world imports. Taiwan did not report 2025 data, and its estimate from partner records misses its trade with other countries that did not report: in 2024 that was 24% of its exports here ($1.0M, CEPII BACI), so it may also belong among the top exporters. Vietnam did not report 2025 data, and its estimate from partner records misses its trade with other countries that did not report: in 2024 that was 43% of its imports here ($1.0M, CEPII BACI), so it may rank higher.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
