Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If dimensions qualify as non-cellular plates/sheets
Larger, usable PVC scraps meeting plate/sheet size criteria are classified in 3920 rather than waste heading 3915.
If from PVC film production (thinner gauge)
Scrap from thinner PVC films (<0.25mm) may fall under heading 3917 for tubes/pipes fittings if repurposed accordingly.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include spectrometry reports proving PVC composition; segregate by color/grade for valuation; beware of duties if edges exceed minimum dimensions for 3920 classification
