About heading 3904

Polymers of vinyl chloride or of other halogenated olefins, in primary forms

Heading 3904 covers polymers of vinyl chloride and polymers of other halogenated olefins, but only in primary forms such as powder, granules, lumps or flakes. The heading is split first by polymer type: unmixed PVC, other PVC, vinyl chloride copolymers, vinylidene chloride polymers, fluoropolymers, and a residual other group. Each of those is then split by whether the material is plasticized, elastomeric, or otherwise formulated.
