Polypropylene Plates, Sheets, Film, Foil & Strip (Non-Self-Adhesive, Unreinforced)

Biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film — a dominant form within this heading — is a critical substrate for flexible food packaging, labeling, and capacitor dielectrics, distinguished from polyethylene film by its higher stiffness, clarity, and moisture-barrier properties. Flat forms of polypropylene that have been reinforced, laminated, or rendered self-adhesive exit this classification and move to other headings, so the "as-imported" condition governs. Section 301 tariff exposure applies to shipments originating from China, making origin documentation and supplier diversification a recurring compliance consideration for buyers of commodity PP film.
