3921.19.00.90 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 3921.19.00.90, encompasses cellular plates, sheets, film, foil, and strip made from plastics *other than* those specifically enumerated in preceding subheadings. This means it serves as a residual category for cellular plastic materials that do not fall under more specific classifications, such as those made from polyethylene or polypropylene. The key characteristic is the cellular or foamed structure, which creates a lightweight material with inherent insulating or cushioning properties.

To differentiate this category from its sibling, 3921.19.00.10, it is crucial to note that this "Other" category excludes microporous sheets of polyethylene or polypropylene film. While both are cellular, the sibling specifically targets a particular type of micro-porous film with defined material composition. Therefore, if a cellular plastic sheet or film is not a microporous sheet of polyethylene or polypropylene, it will likely find its classification under this residual subheading, provided it meets the general criteria for cellular plates, sheets, film, foil, and strip of plastics.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification decisions within this subheading will therefore rely heavily on the precise definition of "cellular" (i.e., containing numerous air cells or voids) and the nature of the plastic material comprising the article. Import and export professionals should carefully examine the material composition and physical structure to ensure it is not specifically provided for elsewhere within Chapter 39 or other relevant chapters of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
