Regenerated Cellulose Foam Packaging Sheets
These cellular sheets made from regenerated cellulose, such as viscose-derived foam, are used for protective packaging of fragile electronics and cosmetics. They fall under HTS 3921.14.00.00 due to their foamed, cellular structure and composition primarily from regenerated cellulose polymer meeting the 95% monomer content rule.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If contains plasticizers exceeding defined limits
Per subheading note, plasticized regenerated cellulose plates/sheets classify under 3920.43 if meeting plasticizer criteria.
If for non-cellular regenerated cellulose sheets
Lacks cellular/foamed structure, moving to other non-cellular plastic sheets in 3921.90.
If paper-based rather than plastic-derived
Household paper packaging sheets fall under Chapter 48 if not qualifying as plastic under Chapter 39 polymer rules.

Import Tips & Compliance
β’ Verify polymer composition via lab testing to confirm 95%+ regenerated cellulose content per subheading notes to avoid reclassification
β’ Provide certificates of analysis documenting cellular structure and material origin for CBP review
β’ Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as non-cellular film, which shifts to 3921.12 or 3921.13
