U.S. imports of plasticized pvc plates, sheets, film & strip (≥6% plasticizer) (HS 392043) totaled $25.3M in April 2026, traded with 41 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPlasticized PVC sheet and film containing at least 6% plasticizer by weight is a flexible, versatile material used in artificial leather, upholstery, medical tubing substrates, and industrial sheeting. Germany leads US imports under this heading, followed by Canada and Taiwan — a supplier profile that reflects European and East Asian specialty compounding expertise. The tariff schedule carves out imitation patent leather (3920431000) as a distinct line alongside a general plasticized PVC line (3920430000) and a residual line for products with less than 6% plasticizers (3920435000), making plasticizer content documentation from the manufacturer essential for correct classification.

Importers should request a material safety data sheet (MSDS) or technical data sheet from the manufacturer that specifies plasticizer content by weight percentage. A certificate of analysis or lab test report confirming the plasticizer level at or above 6% supports classification under 3920430000 or 3920431000. If the plasticizer content is below 6%, the product falls under 3920435000 instead, which carries a different duty treatment.
Imitation patent leather (3920431000) is PVC sheet that has been given a high-gloss, lacquered surface finish designed to simulate the appearance of patent leather. The distinguishing feature is the surface treatment and the commercial presentation as a leather substitute, not the base polymer composition. Importers should retain manufacturer documentation describing the surface finish and intended end use to support this specific subheading.
