Last updated: April 2026 dataSolid-wall (noncellular) plastic flat forms not captured by named-polymer subheadings are classified here, covering a wide range of specialty films, barrier foils, and laminated strips used in flexible packaging, electronics, and industrial applications. Unlike their cellular counterparts, these articles have a continuous, non-foamed cross-section, and the NES designation means the polymer composition does not align with a more specific tariff provision. Section 301 measures may apply to shipments originating from China, making origin documentation and first-sale valuation particularly important for cost management.

Multilayer films are classified based on the essential character of the constituent layers or, where no single layer predominates, by the last applicable rule in the General Rules of Interpretation. If the laminate's polymer composition does not match a named-polymer heading and the article is noncellular, this NES heading may apply, but a detailed layer-by-layer analysis is advisable before filing.
A manufacturer's technical data sheet confirming resin type, density, and absence of a foamed structure is the most useful supporting document. Some ports may also request a cross-section sample or third-party lab report if the cellular versus noncellular distinction is not immediately apparent from the commercial invoice description.
