Overview
This HTS category, 3915.30.00.00, specifically covers waste, parings, and scrap materials derived from polymers of vinyl chloride. This includes, but is not limited to, discarded PVC materials such as offcuts from manufacturing processes, rejected products, and post-consumer waste where the primary plastic component is PVC. These materials are generally in a form unsuitable for direct use and are intended for reprocessing or recycling.
This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling categories by the specific polymer type. While other headings under 3915.30.00.00 may cover scrap of polyethylene (3915.10.00.00) or polystyrene (3915.20.00.00), this particular code is exclusively for vinyl chloride-based plastics. Any scrap not primarily composed of vinyl chloride polymers, even if it is also waste plastic, would be classified elsewhere.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on the accurate identification of the material as waste, parings, or scrap of polymers of vinyl chloride. Importers and exporters must ensure that the material's composition is verified to fall under this specific vinyl chloride polymer designation to avoid misclassification.
