Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the paste is applied to a backing to form wall coverings
Wall or ceiling coverings of plastics are classified in heading 39.18.
If the plasticizer content is negligible
Unplasticized PVC in primary forms falls under this alternative.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the paste is a primary form (liquid or paste) and not a finished wall covering, which would fall under heading 39.18
• Provide a composition breakdown to show the plasticizer is not the predominant component
• Check if the bio-based content qualifies for any environmental incentive programs
