HTS Chapter 39

Plastics and articles thereof

122 HTS codes in this chapter

Plastics and rubber

Chapters 39 and 40 cover plastics and articles thereof, as well as rubber and articles thereof. These are fundamental inputs for the automotive, packaging, construction, medical, and electronics industries in Mexico. Tariff classification depends on product form (raw material, semi-manufacture, or finished product), chemical composition, and end use. Mexico imports significant volumes of plastic resins and synthetic rubber as raw materials, with duties that may be preferential under USMCA depending on origin and the specific product rule of origin.
