Rigid Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene Drainage Pipe
A rigid pipe manufactured from ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer) for wastewater drainage in residential plumbing. Classified in 3917.29.00.90 as a rigid tube or pipe of other plastics, where ABS copolymer does not meet specific named polymer criteria in prior subheadings.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If composed of rigid PVC (vinyl chloride polymers)
Vinyl chloride polymers at 95%+ weight go to 3917.22 per note (a)(1); ABS copolymers do not qualify.
If designed as a finished article for specific non-conveyance use, like lab equipment
Other articles of plastics not resembling pipes/hoses classify under 3926, excluding primary tube functions.
If flexible version of the same material
Flexibility changes classification from rigid (3917.29) to flexible tubes/pipes/hoses (3917.31).

Import Tips & Compliance
• Conduct monomer analysis to confirm ABS classification in 'other' per subheading note (a)(4), predominant monomer over others
• Label shipments clearly as 'rigid' with wall thickness specs to distinguish from flexible variants
