Standard International Trade Classification
U.S. exports of Self-Adhesive Plastic Plates, Sheets, Film & Flat Shapes (Not Elsewhere Specified) (SITC 58219) totaled $227.5M in August 2026.
Importers of Self-Adhesive Plastic Plates, Sheets, Film & Flat Shapes (Not Elsewhere Specified) paid $16.6M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 15.68% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataServing as the residual category for self-adhesive plastic flat forms not captured by the narrow-roll heading, this classification covers sheets, plates, foil, and tape in formats wider than 20 cm or in cut-to-size configurations. End uses span graphic arts films, window tinting sheets, protective overlaminates, and industrial masking materials. The "not elsewhere specified" scope means classification here depends on confirming the article does not meet the specific criteria of any more-defined self-adhesive plastic subheading. Customs brokers often encounter classification disputes between this heading and adhesive-coated textile or paper composites, making substrate identification critical.

The primary distinction is format: rolls exceeding 20 cm in width, cut sheets, plates, and other flat shapes that are self-adhesive but do not fit the narrow-roll definition fall here. Additionally, any self-adhesive plastic flat form that does not meet the criteria of a more specific subheading defaults to this residual category.
Technical data sheets confirming the pressure-sensitive or self-adhesive coating, along with the polymer substrate type and product dimensions, should accompany the entry. If the adhesive layer is applied to a non-plastic backing (e.g., paper or fabric), the article may be classifiable under a different chapter entirely, so substrate composition analysis is advisable before filing.
