Last updated: May 2026 dataPhenolic-resin plastic sheet and film — including Bakelite-type materials — serve as critical substrates in printed circuit boards, friction materials, and industrial insulation. All US imports under this heading are classified under a single tariff line (3920940000). Mexico leads supply to the US market, with India and Taiwan also significant sources, a supplier mix that reflects both USMCA-advantaged manufacturing and Asia-Pacific specialty resin processing.

The key distinction is the base polymer: phenolic resins (phenol-formaldehyde condensates) classify under 392094, while amino-resins (melamine- or urea-formaldehyde) fall under 392093. Technical data sheets or resin certificates from the manufacturer are typically required to support the correct classification at entry.
Mexico is the leading supplier of this product to the US, and goods meeting USMCA rules of origin are generally eligible for preferential tariff treatment. Importers must obtain a valid certification of origin and confirm the product satisfies the applicable tariff-shift or regional-value-content requirement under USMCA.
