Antistatic Polypropylene Film
Antistatic polypropylene film is a non-cellular sheet of propylene polymers with antistatic additives, used for packaging electronic components. The additives do not alter the base polymer classification, so it remains a product of polymers of propylene under tariff item 3920.20.00.
BOPP Clear Label Stock
Biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film used as label stock is a non-cellular, unsupported sheet of propylene polymers. It meets the 95% monomer purity rule for classification under tariff item 3920.20.00, even when surface-treated for adhesion.
Breathable PP Housewrap Sheeting
Breathable polypropylene housewrap is a microporous, non-cellular film of propylene polymers used as a moisture barrier in construction. Despite its permeability, it remains a non-cellular sheet of propylene polymers, classifiable under tariff item 3920.20.00.
Medical Grade PP Drape Sheets
Medical-grade polypropylene drape sheets, though described as nonwoven-like, are actually cast films of propylene polymers. They are non-cellular and unsupported, making them classifiable under tariff item 3920.20.00 as sheets of polymers of propylene.
Polypropylene Capacitor Film
Metallized polypropylene capacitor film is a thin film of propylene polymers with a very thin metallic coating, supplied in rolls. The metallization is minimal and does not constitute reinforcement or lamination, so it remains classifiable under tariff item 3920.20.00.
Polypropylene Furniture Wrap Film
Polypropylene furniture wrap film is a thick, non-cellular, single-layer film of propylene polymers used for protecting furniture during shipping. It is not reinforced or laminated, so it falls under tariff item 3920.20.00.
