U.S. imports of non-cellular cellulose derivative (nesoi) plates, sheets, film, foil & strip (HS 392079) totaled $3.1M in May 2026, traded with 20 countries.
Importers of Non-Cellular Cellulose Derivative (NESOI) Plates, Sheets, Film, Foil & Strip paid $439K in duties in May 2026 — an effective duty rate of 14% on $3.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: May 2026 dataCellulose derivatives not elsewhere specified — including cellulose nitrate, ethyl cellulose, and hydroxypropyl cellulose in flat form — serve specialty applications in lacquer base films, pharmaceutical coatings, and industrial membranes. The US schedule subdivides this heading by thickness and application: vulcanized fiber (3920790500), thin film and strip at or below 0.076 mm (3920791000), a general non-reinforced category (3920792500), and a residual NESOI line (3920795000). Austria and Germany lead US supply, reflecting European dominance in specialty cellulose chemistry. Importers must confirm that the specific cellulose derivative is neither regenerated cellulose (392071) nor cellulose acetate (392073) before classifying here.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Vulcanized fiber is a dense, rigid material produced by treating cellulose sheets with zinc chloride, creating a hornified, non-cellular product used in electrical insulation, gaskets, and industrial washers. Its distinct physical properties and end-use profile justify a dedicated line separate from thin flexible cellulose derivative films. Importers should confirm the manufacturing process — chemical treatment of cellulose rather than casting from a cellulose derivative solution — to support classification at 3920790500.
Thin film and strip at or below 0.076 mm (approximately 3 mils) classifies under 3920791000, while thicker non-reinforced cellulose derivative forms fall into 3920792500 or the residual 3920795000 line. Accurate thickness measurement — typically by micrometer at multiple points across the web — is essential documentation for entry, as CBP may verify the measurement against the declared line.
