PVC Vinyl Floor Tiles from China
These are rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tiles designed for residential and commercial flooring, typically 12x12 inches, sold in boxes for easy installation. They fall under HTS 3918.90.10.00 as floor coverings of other plastics (PVC), in the form of tiles, not self-adhesive. PVC meets the polymer classification rules as it consists of 95% or more vinyl chloride monomer units.

Import Tips
• Verify PVC polymer composition meets 95% vinyl chloride monomer requirement per subheading notes to avoid reclassification
• Provide lab test reports on plastic type and thickness; ensure tiles are not over 6mm thick to prevent confusion with heading 3918 note exclusions
