Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If laminated or supported with other materials
Heading excludes reinforced/laminated products, moving them to 3920.92 per hierarchy.
If of other non-cellulose plastics like PET
Non-cellulose polymers classified by predominant monomer in 'Other' subheadings per note (a).
If printed and in rolls for retail sale
Printed cellulose packaging in rolls shifts to Chapter 48 as cartons/box material.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include FTIR spectroscopy reports proving cellulose acetate composition to comply with subheading note (a)(1); watch for lamination which shifts to 3920.92
• Declare exact thickness on entry docs; pitfall is classifying thicker films incorrectly

Cellophane Packaging Film
Thin, transparent cellophane film made from regenerated cellulose, typically 0.02-0.05 mm thick, used for wrapping food products like candies and cigarettes. It falls under HTS 3920.79.10.00 as a noncellular film of cellulose derivatives (regenerated cellulose) not exceeding 0.076 mm in thickness, without reinforcement or lamination. This classification follows Chapter 39 subheading notes for polymers of cellulose derivatives.
Regenerated Cellulose Sausage Casing Film
Edible-grade thin film (0.03 mm) from regenerated cellulose used as sausage casings in meat processing. Fits HTS 3920.79.10.00 as noncellular strip/sheet of cellulose derivative under 0.076 mm, not combined with other materials. Subheading notes confirm regenerated cellulose classification.
Cellophane Tape Backing Film
Clear 0.035 mm regenerated cellulose film serving as backing for transparent adhesive tapes. Under HTS 3920.79.10.00 as unreinforced, noncellular sheet of cellulose derivative ≤0.076 mm thick. Excludes combined adhesive layers.
Cellulose Triacetate Photographic Base Film
0.07 mm cellulose triacetate film used as the transparent base for photographic film stock. Classifies in HTS 3920.79.10.00 as 'other' thin film of cellulose chemical derivatives, noncellular and unsupported. Polymer notes support triacetate as qualifying derivative.
Thin Cellophane Floral Wrapping Sheets
Pre-cut 0.025 mm cellophane sheets dyed for wrapping flower bouquets and gifts. HTS 3920.79.10.00 applies to these nonreinforced, nonlaminated plastic films of regenerated cellulose ≤0.076 mm. Colorants don't alter polymer classification per notes.
Regenerated Cellulose Battery Separator Film
Microporous 0.04 mm regenerated cellulose film used as separators in alkaline batteries. Falls under HTS 3920.79.10.00 as thin noncellular sheet of cellulose derivatives without support. Microporosity doesn't make it cellular per definitions.
