Nylon 6,6 Packaging Film

Thin, noncellular film made from polyamide-6,6 (Nylon 6,6) used for vacuum packaging food products like meats and cheeses. It falls under HTS 3920.92.00.00 as it is a plate, sheet, film, or strip of polyamides, noncellular and not reinforced or combined with other materials. The monomer units of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid contribute over 95% by weight, meeting the chapter note for specific polymer classification.

Alternative Classifications

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

3920.99Lower: 15.8% vs 39.2%

If copolymer with less than 95% polyamide monomers

Per subheading note (a)(4), classifies under the predominant monomer unit if no single polymer meets 95% threshold.

3921.90.11Same rate: 39.2%

If flexible and used for packaging retail goods

Flexible plastic sheeting for packaging falls in 3921 if primarily for retail sale, separate from general film plates/sheets.

3920.10.00Same rate: 39.2%

If made of polyethylene instead of polyamide

Material composition changes heading to polymers of ethylene if misidentified.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify polymer composition via lab testing to confirm 95%+ polyamide content per subheading note (a)(1) to avoid reclassification to 'Other' plastics

β€’ Provide manufacturer's specification sheet declaring it as non-reinforced polyamide film, not laminated or supported
