U.S. imports of non-cellular, non-reinforced polyethylene plates, sheets, film, foil & strip (HS 392010) totaled $189.6M in July 2026, traded with 74 countries.
Importers of Non-Cellular, Non-Reinforced Polyethylene Plates, Sheets, Film, Foil & Strip paid $14.0M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $95.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataPolyethylene sheet and film in non-cellular, unreinforced form is a foundational packaging and industrial material, and this heading consolidates all such products into a single tariff line (3920100000). Canada leads US imports under this heading, with Vietnam and Mexico also significant suppliers. Polyethylene film in this form is widely used in agricultural mulch film, construction vapor barriers, and flexible packaging, and importers should be aware that the non-cellular, non-reinforced specification excludes bubble film, laminated structures, and reinforced sheeting, which classify elsewhere in Chapter 39.

Stretch wrap and shrink film made of polyethylene can fall under 392010 if they are non-cellular and not reinforced or laminated. However, if the film is combined with other materials (e.g., laminated to foil or fabric) or is cellular in structure, it would classify elsewhere. The key classification tests are: (1) is the material non-cellular, and (2) is it unreinforced and unlaminated?
Coextruded films present a classification challenge because they may consist of multiple polymer layers. If the essential character is polyethylene — typically when PE layers predominate by weight or thickness — classification under 392010 may be appropriate. However, if another polymer layer is functionally dominant, a different heading may apply. Consulting a licensed customs broker is advisable for multi-layer film structures, as CBP has issued binding rulings on specific coextruded constructions.
