3920.20.00 - Of polymers of propylene

This HTS category, 3920.20.00, specifically covers plates, sheets, film, foil, and strip made from polymers of propylene. These items are characterized by their noncellular nature and the absence of reinforcement, lamination, support, or similar combinations with other materials. This means the primary component and structural integrity of the product must derive directly from the propylene polymer itself.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While other categories within 3920.20 cover similar forms of plastics, they are differentiated by the specific polymer. For instance, 3920.10.00.00 is for polymers of ethylene, 3920.30.00.00 is for polymers of styrene, and other subheadings exist for vinyl chloride and acrylic polymers. Therefore, it is essential to confirm that the plastic material is indeed derived from propylene to fall under this classification.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to address specific end-uses or presentations. For example, subcategories may exist for strip specifically packaged and intended for use as decorative or gift-wrapping ribbon, or for broader categories of gift wrap. The existence of an "Other" subheading indicates that any propylene polymer plates, sheets, film, foil, or strip not fitting into more specific subcategories will be classified here.
