3919.90.50Same rate: 40.8%

If not self-adhesive

Non-adhesive plastic tapes/strips fall under the broader 'other' self-adhesive plates/sheets exception.

5906.91.10Lower: 37.7% vs 40.8%

If predominantly rubber-impregnated textile reinforcement

If textile content with rubber treatment predominates, it moves to Chapter 59 prepared textile materials.

3506.91Lower: 12.1% vs 40.8%

If imported as adhesive-coated web without plastic substrate

Pure adhesives on non-plastic backing classified as prepared glues rather than plastic articles.

Import Tips & Compliance

Document filament type (glass vs synthetic) and tensile strength specs; CBP may require proof of reinforcement to distinguish from unreinforced tapes

Label shipments clearly as 'filament reinforced self-adhesive tape' with exact width; avoid generic 'packaging tape' descriptions
