HS v2017 Code: 392020

About plastics; of polymers of propylene, plates, sheets, film, foil and strip (not self-adhesive), non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials

HS code 392020 covers a wide range of plastic products made from polypropylene, a versatile and durable thermoplastic polymer. These materials are used extensively across various industries, from packaging and consumer goods to automotive and construction applications. Their importance lies in their ability to provide cost-effective, lightweight, and customizable solutions that meet the evolving needs of the global market.

Production process

The production of the plastic products covered by HS code 392020 typically involves a combination of extrusion and thermoforming techniques. Extrusion is used to create the initial sheets, films, or strips of polypropylene, while thermoforming is employed to shape and mold the material into the desired final products, such as plates, containers, or packaging components.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 392020 items include polypropylene resin, which serves as the primary raw material. Additionally, various additives, such as stabilizers, colorants, and fillers, may be incorporated to enhance the material's properties and performance. Specialized machinery, including extruders, thermoforming equipment, and cutting tools, are also essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The products covered by HS code 392020 are widely used as components in a variety of industries. These plastic materials are often consumed by manufacturers of 392010 Plastics; of polymers of propylene, plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, cellular, 392030 Plastics; of polymers of styrene, plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, non-cellular, and 392190 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, n.e.c. in heading 3921, among others. The versatility of these polypropylene-based products allows them to be integrated into a wide range of applications, from packaging and consumer goods to automotive and construction materials.

Revisions to 392020
