About This Section
Section VII covers plastics (Chapter 39) and rubber (Chapter 40) — from raw polymer resins and synthetic rubber through semi-finished products like film, sheet, and tubes to finished plastic and rubber articles. The US imports significant volumes of plastic resins, packaging materials, and rubber products. Most plastic raw materials enter at low MFN rates (0-6.5%), while finished plastic articles face moderate rates. FTA duty-free treatment is widely available. Importers should note that certain single-use plastic products may face future regulatory restrictions, and anti-dumping duties apply to specific rubber products from China and other countries.
This section contains 211 six-digit HTS subheadings across Chapters 39, 40. Click any subheading below to view complete tariff rates, FTA preferences, and detailed import guidance.

Chapter Overview
Section VII — Plastics and Articles Thereof covers Chapters 39, 40 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. The HTS is organized into 21 sections and 97 chapters, with each chapter covering a distinct category of goods. Within this section, there are 211 six-digit subheadings, each potentially containing multiple 8-digit and 10-digit statistical suffixes that specify the exact duty rate applicable to your product.
Importers should pay particular attention to the Chapter Notes at the beginning of each chapter, as these notes define the scope of the chapter and may exclude certain products or provide special classification rules that override the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI).
