U.S. imports of non-cellular polyester (nesoi) plates, sheets, film, foil & strip (HS 392069) totaled $4.6M in April 2026, traded with 35 countries.
Importers of Non-Cellular Polyester (NESOI) Plates, Sheets, Film, Foil & Strip paid $691K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 17% on $4.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Non-Cellular Polyester (NESOI) Plates, Sheets, Film, Foil & Strip imports of $4.6M in April 2026 ran 14% above the year-to-date monthly average of $4.0M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPolyester flat forms not elsewhere specified — covering polyesters other than PET and unsaturated polyesters — include engineering resins such as polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) film used in high-performance electrical insulation and specialty packaging. All US imports consolidate into a single tariff line, 3920690000, making precise resin identification in commercial documentation especially important for downstream classification audits. India leads US supply under this heading, followed by Belgium and Germany, reflecting both commodity-grade and specialty polyester film production in those markets. The NESOI designation means any new polyester resin form not captured by PET or UPR subheadings defaults here, so importers should confirm resin identity before filing.

Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) film, polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) film, and polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) sheet are the most frequently encountered resins in this residual category. PET classifies under 392062 and unsaturated polyesters under 392063; any other polyester flat form that does not fit those specific headings defaults to 392069.
India has developed substantial capacity in specialty polyester film grades — including PEN and modified PET variants used in electrical insulation — that do not meet the strict PET definition of heading 392062. This production base, combined with competitive pricing, has positioned India as the primary source for the NESOI polyester flat-form category in the US market.
