Related Products under HTS 3915.90.00.90

PVC Waste Scrap

Waste and scrap from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) production, consisting of trimmings, rejected parts, and off-spec material where PVC monomer units predominate by weight. Classified under 3915.90.00.90 as 'other' plastic waste not specifically covered by earlier subheadings like polyethylene or polystyrene. Meets subheading note criteria for polymers not fitting specific named categories.

ABS Plastic Regrind Scrap

Regrind scrap from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic molding processes, including sprues, runners, and edge trimmings where ABS copolymer predominates. Falls under 3915.90.00.90 as 'other' plastics waste, classified by predominant monomer unit per subheading note (b)(1) since no specific ABS subheading exists.

Post-Consumer PET Bottle Flakes

Flakes from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, cleaned and sorted post-consumer waste not qualifying as high-purity polymer under specific subheadings. Classified in 3915.90.00.90 as 'other' due to blends or impurities preventing 95% monomer purity per subheading note (a)(4).

Nylon 6,6 Fabric Scrap

Scrap cuttings and waste from polyamide-6,6 (nylon) textile or industrial fabric production, where nylon monomers contribute less than 95% due to blends. Under 3915.90.00.90 as 'other' plastic waste per subheading note (a)(1) purity threshold.

Polycarbonate Sheet Trimmings

Trimmings and edge scrap from polycarbonate sheet extrusion, classified as waste where copolymer content predominates but doesn't fit specific subheadings. 3915.90.00.90 applies per note (b)(1) for predominant monomer in series without 'other' exception.

Mixed Copolymer Plastic Scrap

Industrial scrap from copolymers like ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) where no single comonomer predominates over 95%, sorted from manufacturing overruns. Fits 3915.90.00.90 'other' via subheading note (a)(4) predominant unit rule.
