3904.90.50.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 3904.90.50.00, encompasses "Other" polymers of vinyl chloride or of other halogenated olefins that do not fall under specific subheadings within heading 3904. It serves as a residual category for these materials when they are in primary forms, such as powders, granules, or lumps, and do not meet the criteria for more precisely defined classifications. These can include specialized formulations or unique physical forms of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or other halogenated olefin copolymers.

This category is distinguished from its sibling category, 3904.90.10.00, which specifically covers "Elastomeric" forms. While both relate to polymers of vinyl chloride or other halogenated olefins, the "Other" designation here implies materials that do not exhibit the characteristic elastic properties that define the elastomeric classification. Therefore, the key distinguishing factor lies in the material's inherent flexibility and ability to return to its original shape after deformation.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this specific subheading relies on determining that the imported goods are indeed polymers of vinyl chloride or other halogenated olefins in primary forms, and that they do not qualify for classification under any other more specific subheading within heading 3904, particularly the elastomeric category.
