Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If of vinyl chloride polymers
PVC-based release films fall under 3920.59 series following polymer-specific classification rules.
If reinforced with fabric or scrim
Any support or combination with other materials moves to heading 3921 reinforced plates/sheets.
If rigid rather than flexible
Non-flexible plates/sheets of polymers classify under 3920.10 regardless of polymer type.
