Product classification
HS code for Amino resin sheets: 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.
Classification of amino resin sheets under HS 3920.93
HS code 392093 specifically classifies plates, sheets, film, foil, and strip made from amino-resins, provided they are non-cellular, not reinforced, not laminated, not supported, and not self-adhesive. This detailed classification is based on the material composition (amino-resins), the physical form (flat products), and a series of negative criteria that exclude more complex or modified plastic products. Amino-resins, such as urea-formaldehyde or melamine-formaldehyde, provide the base material. The "non-cellular" requirement means the material does not contain internal voids or cells. The absence of reinforcement, lamination, support, or self-adhesive properties ensures that this code applies to basic, unmodified flat products of amino-resins, distinguishing them from composite or adhesive-backed materials.
- Covers

Codes often confused with 3920.93
Common mistake. Common misclassification can occur with amino resins in primary forms (HS code 390939), which are raw materials like powders or liquids, not shaped into sheets. Another frequent error is confusing these basic sheets with reinforced, laminated, or supported amino-resin products, which are classified under HS code 3921. For example, decorative high-pressure laminates, which consist of amino-resin impregnated papers bonded to a core, would fall under 3921. Self-adhesive amino-resin sheets or films are classified under HS code 3919. Additionally, cellular amino-resin sheets, which contain internal cells or voids, are also excluded from 392093 and would typically be found in 3921.
Top exporters and importers of HS 392093 (the code used for amino resin sheets), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 392093 (the code used for amino resin sheets) 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).

Questions about amino resin sheets
What is the HS code for Amino resin sheets?
The HS code for Amino resin sheets is 392093 (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). The HS code for non-cellular, non-reinforced, non-laminated, non-supported, and non-self-adhesive plates, sheets, film, foil, and strip of amino-resins is 392093. This code applies to basic, flat products made from amino-resins.
How do I classify Amino resin sheets for customs?
Amino resin sheets is classified under HS code 392093 — 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. This is a 6-digit subheading level code.
What is the distinction between 'non-cellular' and 'cellular' plastics in HS classification?
The distinction between 'non-cellular' and 'cellular' plastics is based on their internal structure. Non-cellular plastics are solid and compact, without internal voids or cells. Cellular plastics, conversely, contain numerous small cells or voids, which can be open or closed, giving them properties like lightness, insulation, or cushioning. This structural difference significantly impacts their classification and end-use applications.
Which countries are the top exporters of amino resin sheets (HS 392093)?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS 392093 (the code used for amino resin sheets) in UN Comtrade data were China ($27M, 77% of world exports), the United States ($4.5M) and Hong Kong ($913K). World exports came to about $35M, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data).
