Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

3904.22.00Same rate: 41.5%

If plasticized for flooring compounds

Plasticizer inclusion moves to mixed PVC subheadings; note defines plasticizers broadly.

3901.30Lower: 15.3% vs 41.5%

If ethylene-vinyl chloride copolymer

Copolymers named specifically take precedence if comonomers meet 95% threshold.

3917.10Lower: 14.2% vs 41.5%

If extruded into flexible tubes

Profile or tube forms are classified separately from primary resin forms.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Certify emulsion process purity to distinguish from copolymers; common error is confusing with plastisol compounds

β€’ Use dust-free packaging for fine powders to prevent CBP inspection issues

β€’ Test for residual vinyl chloride monomer levels below 1 ppm
