Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If low plasticizer levels for rigid applications
Shifts to non-plasticized PVC if plasticizers do not render it flexible per trade definitions.
If extruded into flexible tubes during manufacture
Once formed into tubes, pipes, or hoses, it moves from primary forms to Chapter 39 heading 3917 articles.
