Films, strips and similar flat forms
This is a complete 8-digit customs code. Exports and Intrastat use it as it is. For an import into the EU, pick a 10-digit line below.
This code covers sheets, plates, films, foils, tapes and strips made from addition-polymerisation plastics, excluding cellular plastic. They must have no backing, reinforcement or lamination, and be unworked, only surface-treated, or cut only into square or rectangular shapes; they must also not be self-adhesive or be floor, wall or ceiling coverings under heading 3918.
Official tariff text
Plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of non-cellular addition polymerization products, n.e.s., not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, without backing, unworked or merely surface-worked or merely cut into squares or rectangles (excl. self-adhesive products, floor, wall and ceiling coverings of heading 3918, poly"vinyl fluoride" sheet, ion-exchange membranes of fluorinated plastic material for use in chlor-alkali electrolytic cells and biaxially oriented poly"vinyl alcohol" film containing by weight >= 97% of poly"vinyl alcohol", uncoated, of a thickness of <= 1 mm)

Your answer for export
You do not pick a 10-digit EU import line for an export declaration or Intrastat. The destination classifies the goods under its own tariff.

Selling to Norway, Great Britain and the United States
Norway, Great Britain and the United States use their own tariff lines under the 6-digit HS code. The rates below are what their customs charge on goods arriving from the EU. Match the goods against each country's own wording before you rely on a rate.

Before you use 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.
On an EU import declaration
4 import lines
When these goods are imported into the EU, the declaration needs a 10-digit code. Under 3920 99 59 the EU tariff has 4 lines, each with its own wording.
You or your customs agent pick the line whose wording fits the goods; the last line, "Other", covers what none of the specific wordings describe.
Some lines depend on what the goods will be used for and need customs authorisation; matching the wording alone does not give a lower rate.

Exports from the EU and Intrastat normally use the 8-digit code as it is.
EU tariff data of Sept. 13, 2026.
This is the catch-all under 3920 99: it covers what the sibling codes below do not.
This is the part of the parent group for addition-polymerisation plastic flat forms that are not self-adhesive or coverings under heading 3918 and are not covered by the specifically named neighbouring codes.
Rates, origin and documents
Besides the ordinary duty, the EU records these kinds of measure against this code. They are listed as signals only: whether one applies to your goods can depend on where they come from, who produced them, the exact product and the documents you present. No amounts are worked out here.
Data of Sept. 1, 2026
Preferential rates exist for goods originating in:
These rates apply to Economic Partnership Agreements; CARIFORUM except Haiti; GSP-EBA (Special arrangement for the least-developed countries - Everything But Arms); GSP+ (incentive arrangement for sustainable development and good governance); OCTs (Overseas Countries and Territories); GSP - General arrangements except India.
Whether you can use one depends on the origin rules for the goods and on the documentation you can show.
Check this code in the official EU TARIC databaseA tariff quota is recorded for this code. This does not say whether any of the quota is still available. It covers goods originating in:
Import restrictions are recorded for goods originating in:
The EU records document conditions on this code. What customs may ask for depends on where the goods come from, exactly what the product is and the customs procedure.
Proof of origin 2 conditions
If you claim a lower rate for goods from a country the EU has a trade agreement with, customs asks for proof of origin, for example a EUR.1 certificate or an origin declaration.
Sanctions and restricted regions 15 conditions
Some conditions come from EU sanctions rules. They matter when the goods are linked to a country or region the EU restricts trade with.
Statements that the goods are outside a rule's scope 2 conditions
Some conditions are statements that a rule does not cover the goods, for example that the product is not on a controlled list.

Worth comparing
Codes that sit close to this one, for when the material itself could be different.
That code covers non-cellular condensation-polymerisation and rearranged-polymerisation products, whereas this code covers addition-polymerisation products.
That code specifically names poly[vinylfluoride] films and biaxially oriented poly[vinyl alcohol] films with thickness <= 1 mm and poly[vinyl alcohol] content >= 97 weight percent.
That code excludes addition-polymerisation products, while this code is specifically for them.
