Melamine Formaldehyde Tableware Sheets

Noncellular sheets made from melamine formaldehyde amino-resin, used for manufacturing durable plastic plates and bowls for household tableware. These sheets are not reinforced or laminated and qualify under HTS 3920.93.00.00 due to their amino-resin composition meeting the 95% monomer content rule. They provide heat resistance and scratch-proof surfaces ideal for kitchenware production.

Alternative Classifications

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

3920.99Lower: 15.8% vs 40.8%

If copolymer with less than 95% amino-resin monomers

Polymers not meeting the 95% threshold for named amino-resins classify under 'Other' plastics based on predominant monomer.

3921.90Lower: 14.8% vs 40.8%

If processed into finished flexible strips or profiles

Finished noncellular sheets converted into other forms like strips fall under plates/sheets processed products, not raw forms.

4411.93Lower: 13.9% vs 40.8%

If presented as high-pressure laminate (HPL) sheets with paper reinforcement

Laminated with paper and impregnated with amino-resins, these become fiberboard products under Chapter 44, not Chapter 39 plastics.
