3920.69.00.00 - Of other polyesters

HTS code 3920.69.00.00 encompasses plates, sheets, film, foil, and strip made from polyesters, excluding polycarbonates, poly(ethylene terephthalate), and unsaturated polyesters. This classification acts as a residual category for polyester-based plastics within the broader group of noncellular, unreinforced, and unsupported plastic sheeting. Examples of goods that would fall under this heading include flexible films and rigid sheets made from polyester copolymers or other polyester formulations not specifically detailed in preceding subheadings.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by the specific type of polyester material used. HTS 3920.61.00.00 is for polycarbonates, HTS 3920.62.00 is for poly(ethylene terephthalate), and HTS 3920.63 specifically addresses unsaturated polyesters. Therefore, 3920.69.00.00 is intended for all other polyester compositions that do not fit into these more narrowly defined categories. The key differentiator lies in the chemical structure and composition of the polyester polymer.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this heading relies on accurately identifying the material as a polyester and confirming that it does not meet the criteria for any of the more specific polyester subheadings. The physical form of the material (plate, sheet, film, foil, or strip) and its lack of reinforcement, lamination, or other forms of combined materials are also crucial classification determinants.
