HTS heading 3919 groups flat plastic products with a pressure-sensitive adhesive surface, such as self-adhesive plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, strip, and similar shapes. They may be supplied in rolls or in other flat forms. The heading describes a broad product category; it is not usually the complete classification for an imported item.
To reach the specific 8-digit HTSUS code, first confirm that the item is plastic and self-adhesive, then review the applicable subheadings and statistical suffixes. The narrower code commonly depends on details such as the plastic material, the product’s form or dimensions, and whether it is tape, film, sheet, strip, or another flat shape. Product construction and intended use may also matter, so do not classify from the marketing name alone.
What to check
- Confirm that the product has a plastic base and a pressure-sensitive adhesive, rather than glue that must be activated by heat, water, or another process.
- Record the base plastic or polymer, any backing or reinforcement, and the product’s physical form, width, thickness, and whether it is imported in rolls.
- Compare the product’s technical specification sheet, packaging, and sample with the wording of the relevant 8-digit HTSUS provisions.
- Check whether printing, coating, lamination, perforation, or another feature changes the applicable subheading or points to a different heading.
- If the construction or principal use is unclear, ask a customs broker or seek a binding classification ruling before relying on the code.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
