HS Code for Acrylic film

HS code 392059 is designated for plates, sheets, film, foil, and strip made "of acrylic polymers (excluding polymethyl methacrylate)," provided they are non-cellular, not self-adhesive, and not reinforced, laminated, supported, or similarly combined with other materials. Acrylic film, being a thin, flexible material manufactured from acrylic polymers (other than PMMA) that meets these criteria, is precisely classified under this code. This classification ensures that basic, uncombined acrylic films, used in various industrial and commercial applications, are accurately categorized based on their polymer composition and physical form, distinguishing them from more complex or composite plastic products.

Products Included

• Cast acrylic film for general industrial use.
• Extruded acrylic film for protective coatings.
• Acrylic film for optical applications (non-PMMA).
• Clear acrylic film for display purposes.
• Acrylic film used in signage manufacturing.
• Opaque acrylic film for light diffusion.

Common Misclassification

Misclassification often occurs with other forms of acrylic plastics or composite materials. HS code 392051 is specifically for plates, sheets, film, foil, and strip "Of polymethyl methacrylate." The distinction is crucial: if the film is made from PMMA, it falls under 392051; otherwise, if it's another acrylic polymer, 392059 applies. Another common error is confusing it with 392190, which covers "Other plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, cellular or reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials." If the acrylic film possesses any of these characteristics (e.g., cellular structure, reinforcement, lamination), it would be classified under 3921. Furthermore, 390690 covers "Acrylic polymers (other than polymethyl methacrylate), in primary forms," which refers to the raw polymer material, not the manufactured film.

FAQ

What is the HS code for Acrylic film?

The HS code for Acrylic film, made from acrylic polymers (excluding polymethyl methacrylate), in non-cellular, non-reinforced, and uncombined forms, is 392059.

How does 392059 differ from 392051?

HS code 392059 covers films made from acrylic polymers *other than* polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). In contrast, HS code 392051 is specifically designated for films, sheets, and similar forms made from PMMA, highlighting the distinction based on the specific type of acrylic polymer.
