U.S. imports of non-cellular polyvinyl butyral (pvb) plates, sheets, film, foil & strip (HS 392091) totaled $11.2M in April 2026, traded with 19 countries.
Importers of Non-Cellular Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) Plates, Sheets, Film, Foil & Strip paid $717K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 14% on $5.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPolyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer film is the dominant safety-glass bonding material, laminated between glass plies in automotive windshields, architectural glazing, and ballistic panels to prevent shattering on impact. All US imports enter under a single line, 3920910000, and Mexico leads supply — a position driven by integrated automotive glass manufacturing in the USMCA production zone that sources PVB interlayer locally. Belgium and Germany are also significant suppliers, reflecting European float-glass and specialty PVB producers serving the architectural market. Because PVB interlayer is a critical safety component, buyers typically require strict thickness tolerance and optical clarity certifications that influence sourcing decisions beyond price alone.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
No. Once PVB film is laminated between glass layers to form safety glass, the composite product classifies under heading 7007 (safety glass) rather than 3920. Heading 3920 covers the PVB film or sheet in its unlaminated, standalone form as imported. Importers of finished laminated glass panels should not use this heading.
Thickness tolerance (typically ±0.01 mm across the web), optical clarity (haze and transmittance values), plasticizer content affecting adhesion and cold-bend performance, and acoustic damping grades for sound-control glazing are the primary technical parameters. Automotive OEM programs often require supplier qualification to specific performance standards, which limits the pool of approved origins regardless of price.
