Acrylic Rigid Tubing Cutoffs
Polymethyl methacrylate (acrylic) rigid tubing pieces less than 200 mm long, used in aquariums, displays, and lab equipment. Falls under HTS 3917.29.00.50 for rigid tubes of other plastics, distinguished by predominant monomer unit per subheading notes.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If flexible rather than rigid
Flexible tubes of plastics move to 3917.31 series, separate from rigid tubes in 3917.2x.
If imported in bulk sheets or non-tubular reservoirs
Plates/sheets of polymers of methyl methacrylate classify in 3920, not as tubes.
If machined into custom lab fittings for retail
Advanced processing into non-tube articles shifts to other plastic articles.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include lab test reports confirming >95% acrylic monomer content to comply with polymer classification in Chapter 39
• Label clearly as 'rigid tubes' not flexible hoses to prevent misclassification into 3917.31-3917.39
• Avoid bundling multiple pieces as sets exceeding effective length; import individually to stay under 200 mm limit
