HS v2017 Code: 392190

About plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, other than cellular

HS code 392190 covers a diverse range of plastic products that are widely used across various industries. These non-cellular plastic items, including plates, sheets, film, foil, and strips, play a crucial role in the global economy, serving as essential materials for packaging, construction, automotive, and numerous other applications. The versatility and adaptability of these plastic products make them indispensable in today's modern world.

Production process

The production of the items covered under HS code 392190 typically involves a range of techniques, such as extrusion, calendering, and thermoforming. Extrusion is a common process where molten plastic is forced through a die to create continuous sheets or films. Calendering involves passing the plastic material between a series of heated rollers to produce thin, uniform sheets. Thermoforming, on the other hand, uses heat and pressure to shape the plastic into desired forms, such as trays, containers, or packaging.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 392190 items include various types of plastic resins, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). These raw materials are often sourced from the 390100 Polymers of ethylene, in primary forms and 390200 Polymers of propylene or of other olefins, in primary forms industries. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, as well as energy sources, are essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The products covered under HS code 392190 are widely used as intermediate goods in a variety of industries. These plastic plates, sheets, films, foils, and strips are commonly used in the 392010 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, cellular industry, as well as in the production of packaging materials, construction materials, and automotive components. The versatility of these plastic items makes them an integral part of the global supply chain, connecting various sectors and contributing to the overall economic growth.
