U.S. exports of non-cellular regenerated cellulose plates, sheets, film, foil & strip (HS 392071) totaled $4.8M in July 2026.
Importers of Non-Cellular Regenerated Cellulose Plates, Sheets, Film, Foil & Strip paid $97K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $652K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Non-Cellular Regenerated Cellulose Plates, Sheets, Film, Foil & Strip imports of $687K in July 2026 ran 24% above the year-to-date monthly average of $552K.
Last updated: July 2026 dataRegenerated cellulose film — commercially known as cellophane — is a bio-based transparent packaging material derived from wood pulp, classified here in non-cellular, unreinforced flat form. All US imports enter under a single 10-digit line, 3920710000, and the product competes with synthetic polymer films in food packaging and specialty wrapping applications where biodegradability or moisture-vapor transmission properties are specified. The United Kingdom and South Korea are the leading suppliers, with Canada also a significant source. Because regenerated cellulose is chemically distinct from cellulose acetate (heading 392073) and other cellulose derivatives (392079), correct resin identification is essential to avoid misclassification within the cellulosics group.

Regenerated cellulose is produced by reconstituting dissolved cellulose without chemical esterification, yielding a product classified under 392071. Cellulose acetate involves esterification of cellulose with acetic acid, producing a chemically distinct polymer that classifies under 392073. The distinction is confirmed by the resin's chemical composition — typically via manufacturer's specification or analytical testing — not by appearance alone.
A thin functional coating applied to regenerated cellulose film generally does not change its classification under 3920710000, provided the coating does not constitute lamination to a dissimilar plastic layer or make the product self-adhesive. However, if the PVDC or other coating layer is thick enough to be considered a laminate, the product may shift to heading 3921. Importers should review the coating weight and construction with a licensed customs broker.
