This is a complete 8-digit customs code. Exports and Intrastat use it as it is. For an import into the EU the declaration uses 3920 73 80 00: this code with 00 added.
This covers non-cellular cellulose acetate plates, sheets, films, foil, tape and strips that have no backing or reinforcement, lamination or similar connection with other materials. They must be unprocessed, only surface-treated, or only cut into square or rectangular shapes, and must not be self-adhesive or be floor, wall or ceiling coverings.

Before you use the code
Check the facts that sit outside the code
The code can be right while what you pay still changes, because of where the goods come from, when they arrive, or extra EU measures.
- The product and its form Check that your product really matches this description, including what it is made of and the form it arrives in.
- Country of origin Trade agreements, sanctions and extra measures can change the treatment of the very same code.
- Current tariff measures Check today's rate, any restrictions or licences, and the quantity customs asks for, with Toldstyrelsen or TARIC.
On an import declaration
3920 73 80 00
When these goods are imported into the EU, the declaration uses the 10-digit form 3920738000: this code with 00 added. There is no further split under it.
Duty suspension: 0% for ships, boats and drilling platforms*
Conditions apply, customs authorisation needed.
A suspension is a lower rate the EU grants for specific products; whether your goods qualify depends on the line's wording and conditions.
Exports from the EU and Intrastat normally use the 8-digit code as it is.
