Overview
This HTS classification, 9902.11.87, pertains to specific sheets of regenerated cellulose. These sheets are characterized by their cellular structure, lack of adhesive properties, and precisely defined dimensions: a length of 750 mm or more but not exceeding 885 mm, a width of 765 mm or more but not exceeding 885 mm, and a thickness ranging from 0.9 mm to 1.9 mm. This particular classification is situated within Chapter 99, which deals with temporary legislation and trade agreement modifications.
The defining features of these regenerated cellulose sheets, namely their specific physical dimensions and cellular, non-adhesive nature, differentiate them from other classifications within Chapter 99, which may cover broader categories of goods or temporary measures with different scopes. Furthermore, this code is designated as a leaf node, meaning it does not have further subdivisions. Its specificity indicates that it is intended for a very precise set of imported goods that meet all the detailed criteria outlined in its description, likely in response to particular trade policy measures.
While this classification does not have subcategories, its placement under subheading 3921.14.00 of the HTS highlights its origin in the broader category of "Other plastics and articles thereof, of polymers of ethylene, of propylene, or of other olefins, whether or not cross-linked, including other polymers of epoxide, of isoprene or of other 1,3-dienes, and copolymers thereof: Sheet and film, of plastics, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials: Of regenerated cellulose". This connection underscores that these are specialized forms of regenerated cellulose plastics articles, subject to specific temporary trade provisions.
