HS v2022 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 cost-effectiveness, ease of processing, and desirable physical properties, making them a crucial component of the global economy.

Production process

The production of the plastic products covered under HS code 392020 typically involves extrusion, calendering, or thermoforming processes. Extrusion is a common technique where the molten polypropylene is forced through a die to create sheets, films, or strips. Calendering involves passing the material between a series of heated rollers to produce thin, uniform sheets. Thermoforming is used to shape the plastic into desired forms, such as trays or containers, by heating and pressing the material into a mold.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of HS code 392020 items is polypropylene resin, a thermoplastic polymer derived from the polymerization of propylene. Other key inputs include various additives, such as stabilizers, colorants, and fillers, which are used to enhance the material's properties and appearance. Additionally, specialized machinery, including extruders, calenders, and thermoforming equipment, is required for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The products covered under HS code 392020 are widely used as packaging materials, including food containers, trays, and wraps. They are also employed in the production of automotive components, such as interior trim and under-the-hood parts, as well as in the construction industry for insulation and roofing applications. The output of this industry is often consumed by manufacturers under 392010 Plastics; of polymers of propylene, plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, 392030 (Plastics; of polymers of styrene, plates, sheets, film, foil and strip (not self-adhesive), non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials), and 392190 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, n.e.c. in heading 3921.
