Backing materials like plastics shift it to backed foil in 7607.20.90.
If primarily plastic with thin aluminum layer
If plastic predominates, it classifies as other plastic film, not aluminum foil.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include pharma-grade certifications and thickness test reports to confirm compliance with subheading specs
• Avoid classifying as backed if minimal coating is present; document as unbacked to stay in 7607.11
• Check for alloy content; pharma foil must qualify as non-alloyed aluminum per chapter notes
