3921.90 - Other:

This category, HTS 3921.90, encompasses "Other" plates, sheets, film, foil, and strip made of plastics, which are not elsewhere specified within the broader Chapter 39. This includes a wide array of plastic materials in these forms that do not fall under more specific subdivisions based on their cellular structure or combination with textile materials. The key characteristic for classification here is that the plastic material is presented in a non-cellular form and lacks specific textile reinforcement or integration beyond what might be considered inherent to the manufacturing process of certain plastic films or sheets.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, HTS 3921.10 ("Cellular"), which specifically covers foamed or cellular plastics in plate, sheet, film, foil, or strip form. HTS 3921.90, therefore, exclusively applies to non-cellular plastic materials. Furthermore, it is differentiated from subcategories within 3921.90 that deal with the combination of plastic with textile materials.

The subcategories within HTS 3921.90 further refine the classification based on the presence and weight of combined textile materials. "Combined with textile materials and weighing not more than 1.492 kg/m2" and "Combined with textile materials and weighing more than 1.492 kg/m2" address composite materials where plastic sheets, films, or foils are integrated with textiles, with the weight serving as a primary differentiating factor. The "Other" subcategory, which this node represents, is for those plastic plates, sheets, film, foil, and strip that do not meet the criteria for cellular structures or specific combinations with textile materials.
