Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If flexible and intended for hose/piping use
Flexible PVC scrap suitable for flexible tubes/pipes of vinyl chloride polymers moves to heading 3917.
If mistaken for rubber waste
Scrap visually resembling rubber but confirmed as PVC stays in Chapter 39; true rubber scrap goes to Chapter 40.
