Cellular PVC Foam Board Sheets
Rigid cellular polyvinyl chloride (PVC) foam boards used for signage, displays, and construction panels. Classified under HTS 3921.19.00 as cellular sheets of other plastics (PVC predominates over 95% per subheading note (a)(1)). The foamed structure offers high strength-to-weight ratio and weather resistance.

More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If non-cellular rigid PVC
Solid, non-foamed PVC sheets classify as non-cellular plates/sheets of polymers of vinyl chloride in 3920.11.
If polyurethane-based foam
Cellular polyurethane sheets fall under specific 3921.13 subheading for polyurethane plastics.
If PVC-faced wood particleboard
Laminated materials with wood core shift to Chapter 44 for fiberboard, not plastic heading.

Import Tips & Compliance
β’ Include material safety data sheets (MSDS) confirming PVC monomer content >95% to comply with polymer classification rules
β’ Measure dimensions carefully; boards over 38.1cm x 45.7cm may qualify for special rates but cellular heading takes precedence
β’ Avoid common error of declaring as 'rigid PVC plate' which shifts to 3920.11; emphasize cellular/foamed nature in invoices
