About plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics n.e.c. in heading no. 3921, cellular

HS code 392119 covers a wide range of cellular plastic products, including plates, sheets, film, foil, and strip. These materials are used extensively across various industries, from packaging and construction to automotive and electronics. As a key component in the global plastics supply chain, the products under this code play a vital role in the broader economy, enabling the manufacture of a diverse range of consumer and industrial goods.

Production process

The production of cellular plastic products under HS code 392119 typically involves a process known as extrusion. In this method, raw plastic materials, such as polyethylene or polypropylene, are melted and forced through a die to create the desired shape and thickness. The extruded material is then cooled and cut to size, often with additional processing steps like lamination or embossing to achieve the final product specifications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of cellular plastic products under HS code 392119 include raw plastic resins, such as 390110 Polyethylene, linear low-density, 390120 Polyethylene, low-density, and 390130 Polyethylene, high-density. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as extruders and cutting equipment, as well as energy sources and skilled labor, are essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The cellular plastic products covered under HS code 392119 are widely used as inputs for a variety of downstream industries. These materials are commonly found in packaging applications, such as 392310 Plastics; boxes, cases, crates and similar articles, 392321 (Plastics; sacks and bags (including cones)) and 392329 Plastics; sacks, bags and the like, n.e.c. in item no. 3923.2. They are also used in construction, automotive, and electronics industries, where their lightweight, durable, and insulating properties are highly valued.
