U.S. imports of non-cellular polyethylene terephthalate (pet) plates, sheets, film, foil & strip (HS 392062) totaled $98.1M in May 2026, traded with 64 countries.
Importers of Non-Cellular Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Plates, Sheets, Film, Foil & Strip paid $9.2M in duties in May 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $75.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Non-Cellular Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Plates, Sheets, Film, Foil & Strip imports of $98.1M in May 2026 ran 21% above the year-to-date monthly average of $81.0M.
Last updated: May 2026 dataPET film and sheet — widely known in trade as Mylar or polyester film — is a foundational material for flexible packaging, metallized decorative wraps, and industrial barrier applications. The US schedule carves out two metallized-film subheadings: gift-wrap metallized PET film (3920620020) and other metallized PET film (3920620050), with non-metallized forms classified at 3920620090. Oman leads US supply under this heading, an unusual geographic concentration driven by large-scale PET film manufacturing capacity built to serve export markets. Importers of metallized PET should confirm whether the product's primary function is decorative (gift wrap) or industrial, as the distinction determines the applicable 10-digit line.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The gift-wrap line covers metallized PET film presented or marketed specifically for gift-wrapping use, typically in consumer roll widths with decorative finishes. Industrial metallized PET — used for capacitor dielectrics, food packaging barriers, or thermal insulation — classifies under 3920620050. When a metallized film has dual-use potential, the importer's commercial documentation and product specifications are critical to supporting the correct line.
Both biaxially oriented (BOPET) and cast PET forms classify within heading 392062 as long as they are non-cellular, non-reinforced, and non-self-adhesive. Orientation is a processing method, not a tariff criterion at this level. Thickness and metallization status drive the 10-digit line selection, not the orientation method.
