Polypropylene Packaging Film
Thin, noncellular polypropylene film used for food packaging and shrink wrapping. Classified under HTS 3920.20.00 as it is a plate, sheet, film, or strip of polymers of propylene (at least 95% propylene monomer units by weight), noncellular, and not reinforced or combined with other materials.

More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If made from polyethylene polymers
Plates, sheets, and film of polyethylene (not propylene) fall under the ethylene polymer subheading in the same series.
If cellular or foam structure
Cellular polypropylene sheets are classified in heading 3921 for cellular plastics, not noncellular in 3920.
If vinyl chloride predominates over propylene
Per subheading note (a)(4), if another monomer like vinyl chloride exceeds propylene by weight, it shifts to 'other' polymers subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance
β’ Verify polymer composition via lab testing to confirm 95%+ propylene content per subheading notes to avoid reclassification
β’ Provide detailed technical specs and supplier certificates showing noncellular structure and lack of reinforcement
