3920.30.00.00 - Of polymers of styrene 🖩

This HTS category, 3920.30.00.00, specifically covers plates, sheets, film, foil, and strip made from polymers of styrene. These items are characterized by their noncellular nature and the absence of reinforcement, lamination, support, or any other form of combination with other materials. Examples include solid polystyrene sheets used in packaging or as signage material, and thin polystyrene films for protective wrapping or electrical insulation.

This classification is distinguished from its siblings primarily by the specific polymer base. For instance, while 3920.10.00.00 covers similar plastic forms derived from ethylene polymers (like polyethylene), and 3920.20.00 pertains to propylene polymers (polypropylene), this code focuses exclusively on styrene-based plastics. Other sibling categories differentiate based on polymers like vinyl chloride, acrylics, or polyesters, each having distinct chemical properties and applications.

As a leaf node, 3920.30.00.00 does not have further subdivisions. Classification within this code relies on confirming that the material is indeed a polymer of styrene and meets the criteria of being a noncellular, unsupported, and uncombined plate, sheet, film, foil, or strip. The key is the material composition and the physical form, ensuring it is not a composite or reinforced plastic article that would fall under other HTS headings.
