About heading 3916

Monofilament of which any cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1 mm, rods, sticks and profile shapes, whether or not surface-worked but not otherwise worked, of plastics

Heading 3916 covers plastic monofilament whose cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1 mm, plus plastic rods, sticks and profile shapes, as long as they are not otherwise worked beyond surface working. It splits first by material: polymers of ethylene, polymers of vinyl chloride, and other plastics. The vinyl chloride lines separate siding from window, door, decking and railing profiles, and the other plastics lines separate acrylics, racket strings, monofilament and a residual other line.
