About plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip (not self-adhesive), of cellulose derivatives n.e.c. in heading no. 3920, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials

HS code 392079 covers a diverse range of plastic products derived from cellulose derivatives, excluding those that are self-adhesive, cellular, reinforced, laminated, or combined with other materials. These products play a crucial role in various industries, from packaging and construction to electronics and healthcare, making them an integral part of the global economy.

Production process

The production of the items under HS code 392079 typically involves extrusion, calendering, or casting techniques. Extrusion is a common method, where the raw materials, such as cellulose esters or ethers, are melted and forced through a die to create the desired shape, like sheets or films. Calendering involves passing the material between a series of heated rollers to produce thin, uniform sheets. Casting, on the other hand, involves pouring the molten material onto a flat surface and allowing it to solidify into the desired form.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 392079 include cellulose derivatives, such as cellulose esters (e.g., cellulose acetate) and cellulose ethers (e.g., methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose). These raw materials are often sourced from the 470000 Forestry and Logging and 201100 Manufacture of basic chemicals, fertilizers and nitrogen compounds, plastics and synthetic rubber in primary forms industries. Additionally, various additives, such as plasticizers, stabilizers, and colorants, may be used to enhance the properties of the final products.

Production outputs

The products covered under HS code 392079 are primarily used in the manufacture of a wide range of items, including 222100 Manufacture of plastic plates, sheets, tubes and profiles and 222200 Manufacture of plastic packing goods. These plastic sheets, films, and foils are often used in packaging, construction, electronics, and medical applications. Some of the industries that may consume the outputs of HS code 392079 include 100000 Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing, 210000 Manufacture of Pharmaceuticals, Medicinal Chemical and Botanical Products, and 260000 Manufacture of Computer, Electronic and Optical Products.
