Metallic Gold Polypropylene Wrapping Ribbon
This thin strip of noncellular polypropylene film, featuring a metallic gold finish, is packaged in rolls specifically for use as decorative ribbon on gifts. It falls under HTS 3920.20.00.15 because it is a strip of propylene polymers put up in packaging for decorative or gift-wrapping purposes, meeting the 95% monomer content requirement. The non-reinforced, non-laminated structure ensures classification as a simple plastic strip.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If made from polymers of ethylene like polyethylene
Ethylene-based strips follow the same 'strip for ribbon' subheading but under a different polymer series per subheading note (a).
If sold in bulk rolls without consumer packaging for retail
Lacks specific 'put up in packaging for decorative use,' classifying as other plastic sheets/plates per Chapter 39 notes.
If imported as part of a complete gift wrapping set with scissors and tags
Sets with diverse components are classified by essential character, often under toys/party articles rather than individual plastic strips.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the polypropylene content exceeds 95% by weight via lab testing to confirm classification under propylene polymers per subheading note (a)(1)
• Include packaging labels showing 'for decorative/gift-wrapping use' to avoid reclassification as generic film under 3920.20
• Avoid bulk packaging without consumer-ready rolls, as it may shift to 3920.10 or 3921.90 for other plastic sheets
