3916.90.50.00 - Other

This HTS category, 3916.90.50.00, encompasses "Other" rods, sticks, and profile shapes of plastics, where the cross-sectional dimension of any dimension exceeds 1 millimeter, and which are not otherwise worked beyond surface working. This classification applies to a wide range of extruded or molded plastic forms that do not fit into more specific subheadings under heading 3916. Examples include plastic bars used for fabrication, hexagonal or octagonal plastic rods, and plastic channels or angles that are not further processed.

The key distinction of this category lies in its residual nature. It serves as a catch-all for profile shapes of plastics that are not monofilament (classified under 3916.90.30.00) and are made from "other plastics" (i.e., plastics not specifically enumerated in preceding headings within Chapter 39). Therefore, if a plastic rod or profile is manufactured from a material not explicitly defined elsewhere, and meets the dimensional and working criteria, it will likely fall into this subheading.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this subheading is determined by confirming that the article is indeed a rod, stick, or profile shape of plastic, that at least one cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1 millimeter, and that it has not undergone further processing such as cutting to length in a manner that creates a finished product, assembly, or application of decorative or functional features beyond basic surface treatment.
