Vinyl Sash Window Profile from Japan
PVC profiles extruded for window sashes and meeting rails, with vinyl chloride polymers comprising at least 95% by weight. Surface-worked but otherwise unprocessed, these qualify as window profiles in HTS 3916.20.0020. Ideal for energy-efficient sliding or casement windows.

Import Tips
• Include FTIR spectroscopy reports confirming PVC predominance over other comonomers
• Separate profile types (e.g
• frame vs sash) in documentation for accurate statistical reporting
• Beware of blending with other polymers; predominant monomer rules apply per subheading note (a)(4)
