HS Code 3919Self-adhesive plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, strip and other flat shapes, of plastics, whether or not in rolls

What HS code 3919 covers

This heading is for flat plastic goods that stick to a surface on their own. Think of tape, film, foil, strip, sheets and plates with a layer of glue on one side. Two things must be true. The product is flat, and the glue is already on it.

The Harmonized System is a shared list that customs offices use to name and sort traded goods. Heading 3919 is one stop on that list for tariff classification. Self-adhesive plastic tape, adhesive film for labels and adhesive sheets all start here. Whether the item comes on a roll does not change the heading. It only changes the six-digit code beneath it.

What is the difference between 391910 and 391990?

The test is simple. Look at the width of the roll. The wording is rolls of a width not exceeding 20cm, so a roll that is exactly 20cm wide also fits.

Everything else self-adhesive in this heading goes to 391990. That means wider rolls. It also means flat sheets and plates that are not sold in a roll.

Measure the width of the roll, not its length. A very long roll of narrow tape is still a narrow roll.

• Narrow tape or film on a roll, 20cm wide or less: 391910
• Roll wider than 20cm: 391990
• Cut sheets, plates or shapes that are not in a roll: 391990

Self-adhesive or not: 3919 vs nearby headings

Glue is the line between 3919 and its neighbours. If a plastic sheet or film has no adhesive layer, look at 3920 instead. This is the usual question when people compare HS 3919 vs 3920 plastic film.

Heading 3921 holds other plastic plates, sheets, film, foil and strip that are not named elsewhere in Chapter 39. Check it when your item does not fit 3920.

Floor and wall coverings are different again. Heading 3918 takes floor coverings of plastics, whether self-adhesive or not, and wall or ceiling coverings in wide rolls. A self-adhesive floor tile belongs there, not in 3919.

Finished articles made of plastic often fall under 3926, which is for other articles of plastics. If the goods are made for packing or carrying other goods, check 3923. When you are unsure, run the product through the HS code classifier before you file.
