Clear Polyester Self-Adhesive Laminating Film

A thin, transparent polyester film with a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing, supplied in rolls for laminating documents and cards. It falls under HTS 3919.90.5060 as self-adhesive plastic film, other than vinyl or specific polymers, not in rolls of specified widths. Classification follows chapter notes for polymers where the predominant monomer exceeds others by weight.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

3919.10.20Same rate: 40.8%

If of vinyl polymers like PVC

Vinyl chloride polymers (95%+ by weight) shift to the specific vinyl subheading in the same series per subheading note (a)(1).

3919.90.10Higher: 41.5% vs 40.8%

If in rolls over 20 cm wide

Rolls exceeding 20 cm width are classified in the preceding subheading within the 'Other' series.

3920.10.00Lower: 39.2% vs 40.8%

If non-self-adhesive

Without self-adhesive properties, it becomes a basic plastic film plate or sheet under heading 3920.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify polymer composition via lab testing to confirm it meets 'other' criteria under subheading notes (95%+ monomer content)

Declare exact width and roll status accurately to avoid misclassification

Ensure adhesive type is pressure-sensitive, not heat-activated, for proper heading 3919 placement
