News and Updates

Recent News
US-Iceland Trade Agreement Expands PTFE Sheet Market Access
A new bilateral trade agreement between the United States and Iceland has reduced tariffs on specific industrial materials, including Expanded PTFE nonadhesive cellular sheets (thickness 3.0-6.0 mm, tensile strength ≥ 48.3 MPa). This agreement aims to boost trade in specialized polymer products.
2023-10-15
Impact: This reduction in tariffs is expected to increase US exports of PTFE sheets to Iceland, enhancing market opportunities for American manufacturers while providing Icelandic industries with access to high-quality materials at lower costs.
Icelandic Demand for High-Strength PTFE Sheets Rises
Iceland's growing renewable energy sector, particularly geothermal applications, has led to increased demand for durable materials like Expanded PTFE sheets meeting ASTM F-152 standards. US suppliers are stepping in to meet this niche market need.
2023-09-22
Impact: US exporters of PTFE sheets are likely to see a steady rise in orders from Iceland, potentially strengthening trade ties in high-performance industrial materials.
US Customs Clarifies Classification for PTFE Sheets in Trade with Iceland
US Customs and Border Protection issued a ruling confirming the classification of Expanded PTFE cellular sheets under HS subheading 3921.19.00, ensuring consistency in trade documentation for shipments to Iceland.
2023-08-30
Impact: This clarification reduces the risk of delays or disputes at customs, facilitating smoother trade flows of PTFE sheets between the US and Iceland.
Policy Updates
US-Iceland Tariff Reduction on Industrial Polymers
Under a new trade policy effective October 1, 2023, tariffs on specific polymer products, including Expanded PTFE nonadhesive cellular sheets (HS 3921.19.00), have been reduced by 2.5% for trade between the United States and Iceland. Importers must provide certification of tensile strength per ASTM F-152 to qualify for the reduced rate.
