Frequently Asked Questions about Polypropylene Film Import
There are numerous HS Codes for polypropylene films. How can I ensure my goods are classified under the correct code to avoid tariff and regulatory risks?
The HS code for polypropylene film does indeed vary depending on its specific specifications (such as thickness, whether it is oriented, whether it is composite, etc.) and processing state (for example, the article mentions that 3920.2010 specifically refers to non-stretched polypropylene film with a thickness not exceeding 0.1mm). Our professional customs declaration team will conduct precise commodity classification based on the detailed specifications of the film you provide (such as material composition, thickness, width, stretching process, surface treatment, whether it is printed or composite, etc.) and its actual use, ensuring the correct HS code is applied. This will determine the accurate tariff rate, regulatory conditions, and required permits, effectively avoiding additional taxes, fines, or customs delays caused by classification errors.
