Tariff lines in Chapter 39 by duty-rate band
How the 236 rated lines in this chapter distribute across general (MFN) rate ranges
About HTS Chapter 39
HTS Chapter 39 - Plastics and articles thereof - organizes 500 tariff classifications in the US Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Of these, 236 carry explicit duty rates at the tariff-line level, meaning importers can look up a specific Column 1 General (MFN) rate for every qualifying shipment. Chapter 39 sits within Section VII (Plastics and Rubber), which groups commercially related product categories together.
The average general duty rate across all tariff lines in this chapter is 4.6%, with the highest individual rate reaching 6.5%. Duty burden varies widely across tariff lines within this chapter, classification precision matters. Below, each line links to its individual detail page showing General, Special (FTA), and Column 2 rates.
Use this chapter page as the entry point for classifying any product that falls under plastics and articles thereof. The tree below preserves the HTS indentation hierarchy (heading → subheading → tariff line), so you can narrow from broad category to specific 8-10 digit code. All data comes from the US International Trade Commission (USITC) HTS 2026 Basic Edition, the official schedule of import duties used by US Customs and Border Protection.
