Analysis
Subheading 3920.59 covers other, within heading 3920. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 3 US tariff lines below it are national.
The spread of 6.5 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 6.5%, applies to 3920.59.80 (other: other).
1 of its 3 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (33%) and 2 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 6.5%. The median line pays 6%.
The US splits it as follows: 3920.59.10 for other: flexible (6%), 3920.59.40 for transparent sheeting containing 30 percent or more by weight of lead (duty-free) and 3920.59.80 for other: other (6.5%).
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.
