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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If collagen or protein-based casing
Protein-derived casings are chemical products of Chapter 35, not plastics of Chapter 39.
If thickness over 0.076 mm
Thicker cellulose derivative sheets classify in the residual 'Other' subheading 3920.79.50.
If extruded as seamless tubes >1m long
Flexible plastic tubes/pipes of Chapter 39 heading 3917 if shaped beyond flat film.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain FDA prior notice for food contact; certify non-reinforced per note specs
• Common error: confusing with protein-based casings (Chapter 35); measure thickness uniformly across rolls

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.
Cellulose Acetate Window Film
Ultra-thin cellulose acetate film (0.04 mm thick) used as transparent windows in envelopes and packaging. Classified under HTS 3920.79.10.00 as 'other' nonreinforced film of cellulose derivatives not over 0.076 mm. Meets polymer classification rules for cellulose acetate as a chemical derivative.
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.
