U.S. imports of polymethyl methacrylate (acrylic) plates, sheets, film & strip (HS 392051) totaled $25.8M in April 2026, traded with 48 countries.
Importers of Polymethyl Methacrylate (Acrylic) Plates, Sheets, Film & Strip paid $2.6M in duties in April 2026 โ an effective duty rate of 14% on $17.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Polymethyl Methacrylate (Acrylic) Plates, Sheets, Film & Strip imports of $25.8M in April 2026 ran 27% above the year-to-date monthly average of $20.2M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPolymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) โ widely known commercially as acrylic glass or by trade names such as Plexiglas โ is classified here in non-cellular, non-reinforced flat form. Mexico is the leading US supplier under this heading, with South Korea and Indonesia also significant sources. The tariff schedule distinguishes flexible PMMA sheet (3920511000) from rigid variants, and further separates flame-retardant non-flexible sheet (3920515050) from other non-cellular, non-laminated PMMA products (3920515090) โ a distinction relevant to construction and transportation applications where fire ratings are specified.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page โ verify before relying on it.
Flame-retardant PMMA sheet (3920515050) is separated from standard rigid PMMA (3920515090) because fire-rated acrylic commands a distinct commercial market โ particularly in building codes, transportation interiors, and display applications โ and the additive treatment can affect both value and end-use eligibility. Importers should obtain a flame-retardancy certification (such as UL 94 or ASTM E84 test results) from the manufacturer to support classification under the flame-retardant line.
Flexible PMMA sheet has its own dedicated line (3920511000), separate from the rigid and flame-retardant variants. Flexibility is typically determined by the sheet's thickness and formulation โ thin-gauge PMMA film used in optical or decorative applications is more likely to qualify as flexible. Importers should document the thickness, modulus, and any flexibility test data from the manufacturer to support the flexible subheading if claimed.
