Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the film is made of polycarbonate and is in rolls of a width not exceeding 20 cm
Self-adhesive plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, strip and other flat shapes of plastics are classified in heading 3919, but this requires adhesive coating.
If the film is cellular or reinforced, laminated, or supported with other materials
This heading covers other plates, sheets, film, foil and strip of plastics, including cellular and reinforced products.

This is a flexible, noncellular sheet of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) copolymer, 0.7 mm thick, cut into sheets for thermoforming prototypes. It is not reinforced, laminated, or supported with other materials, and falls under the tariff item for plates, sheets, film, foil, and strip of other plastics.
ABS Prototype Sheets
ABS prototype sheets are noncellular sheets made from acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, used for rapid prototyping and model making. They are classified under this tariff item as plates, sheets, film, foil and strip of other plastics, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials. The ABS copolymer predominates over single monomers, meeting the classification rules for polymer blends.
Acetal Engineering Sheets
