Import Tips & Compliance
• If the patches are cut to shape or have adhesive backing, they may be classified as articles of plastics (heading 39.26) rather than sheets
• Confirm the product is in sheet form when imported
• Provide technical data on pore size and pressure equalization for CBSA classification
Related Products under Tariff item 3921.19.00
Battery Grade PP Microporous Membrane
>- High-purity microporous polypropylene membrane used as a lithium-ion battery separator, with controlled pore distribution. This is a cellular (microporous) sheet of polypropylene, which is not one of the named plastics in other subheadings of heading 39.21, so it falls under 3921.19.00 as "of other plastics."
Breathable PE Diaper Backing Film
>- Microporous polyethylene film used as a soft, breathable backsheet in disposable diapers. This is a cellular (microporous) sheet of polyethylene, which is not one of the named plastics in other subheadings of heading 39.21, so it falls under 3921.19.00 as "of other plastics."
Cellular ABS Sheets
Foamed acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) copolymer sheets for thermoforming applications. Since ABS is a copolymer where no single monomer unit contributes 95% or more by weight, it is classified under tariff item 3921.19.00 as a cellular sheet of 'other plastics'.
Cellular Acrylic Foam Tapes Base Sheets
>- Double-sided cellular acrylic polymer foam sheets used as a carrier for pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes. These sheets are cellular (foamed) and made of acrylic polymer, which is not one of the named plastics in other subheadings of heading 39.21, so they fall under tariff item 3921.19.00 as "of other plastics."
Cellular Acrylic Sheets
Foamed acrylic polymer sheets for signage and displays, with a cellular structure. As acrylic polymers are not specifically named in cellular subheadings, these sheets are classified under tariff item 3921.19.00 as 'of other plastics'.
Cellular Polyamide Foam Sheets
>- Cellular polyamide (nylon) foam sheets used for impact protection and vibration damping in machinery. Polyamide is not one of the named plastics in other subheadings of heading 39.21, and the cellular structure qualifies these sheets for classification under 3921.19.00 as "of other plastics."
