PVC Window Frame Profile from China
Extruded PVC profile shapes designed specifically for fabricating window frames, made from polymers of vinyl chloride where PVC constitutes over 95% of the polymer content. These profiles are surface-worked but not further shaped, qualifying under HTS 3916.20.0020 as window profiles. They provide structural support and weather sealing in residential and commercial windows.

Import Tips
• Verify polymer composition meets 95% PVC monomer requirement per subheading note (a)(1) with lab testing certificates
• Ensure profiles are not further worked (e.g
• no cut-to-length or assembled) to avoid reclassification as finished goods
• Provide detailed extrusion specs and end-use documentation to CBP to confirm 'window profile' status
