Products classified under HTS 3915.30.00.00
PVC Window Profile Scrap
Waste scraps from extruded polyvinyl chloride (PVC) profiles used in window frames, consisting primarily of rigid PVC with over 95% vinyl chloride monomer units by weight. Classified under HTS 3915.30.00.00 as scrap of polymers of vinyl chloride per subheading note (a)(1). These trimmings and rejects arise during manufacturing cuts and defects.
PVC Pipe Trimmings and Cuttings
Parings and scrap generated from cutting rigid PVC pipes during production, with vinyl chloride polymers comprising over 95% by weight. Falls under 3915.30.00.00 as waste of PVC polymers according to chapter subheading notes. Typically clean, uncontaminated factory waste suitable for recycling.
Rigid PVC Sheet Edge Scrap
Edge trimmings and waste from calendared rigid PVC sheets used in signage and panels, predominantly polymers of vinyl chloride (>95% by weight). Classified in 3915.30.00.00 per polymer classification rules in subheading note (a)(1). Generated from sizing operations in sheet production.
PVC Floor Tile Manufacturing Scrap
Waste parings from punching and trimming rigid PVC floor tiles, composed of >95% vinyl chloride polymers by weight. Under HTS 3915.30.00.00 as scrap of PVC per chapter notes on polymer content. Clean factory rejects from tile forming processes.
Extruded PVC Profile Rejects
Defective rejects and startup scrap from PVC profile extrusion for doors/frames, with vinyl chloride monomer units >95% of polymer weight. HTS 3915.30.00.00 classification follows subheading note (a)(1) for pure PVC polymers. Includes off-spec lengths and surface defect pieces.
PVC Medical Tubing Waste
Scrap from flexible PVC tubing production for medical devices, primarily vinyl chloride polymers (95%+ by weight). Fits 3915.30.00.00 as PVC waste per polymer definition rules. Clean trimmings from cutting IV bags and catheters.
PVC Wire Insulation Scrap
Stripped insulation waste from PVC-coated electrical wires, predominantly polymers of vinyl chloride. Classified 3915.30.00.00 following subheading notes for >95% VC content. Free from metal contamination post-stripping.
Flexible PVC Film Edge Trimmings
Machine-direction edge waste from blown or cast flexible PVC film production for packaging, >95% vinyl chloride polymers. Under 3915.30.00.00 as PVC scrap per chapter polymer rules. Narrow strips unsuitable for direct use.
PVC Bottle Preform Scrap
Rejected preforms and flashings from PVC bottle blow-molding operations, consisting of pure vinyl chloride polymers (>95%). HTS 3915.30.00.00 per subheading note (a)(1). Manufacturing rejects before full bottle formation.
PVC Upholstery Trim Waste
Cuttings from flexible PVC artificial leather used in furniture upholstery, predominantly vinyl chloride polymers. Classified under 3915.30.00.00 as PVC scrap following polymer content rules. Pattern-matching rejects and edge trimmings.
