3920
Other plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, noncellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials
Analysis
Heading 3920 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers other plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, noncellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials. It divides into 19 six-digit subheadings and 28 eight-digit tariff lines, with 33 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 6.5 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 6.5%, applies to 3920.51.50 (of poly(methyl methacrylate): other) and 3920.59.80 (other: other).
1 of its 28 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (4%) and 27 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 6.5%. The median line pays 5%.
The largest subheadings are 3920.59 (other, 3 lines), 3920.79 (of other cellulose derivatives, 3 lines), 3920.99 (of other plastics, 3 lines) and 3920.43 (containing by weight not less than 6 percent of…, 2 lines).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Unlaminated Plastics Film and Sheet (except Packaging) Manufacturing (326113). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
