3917.32.00.50 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 3917.32.00.50, encompasses tubes, pipes, and hoses of plastic that are "other" than those made of polyvinyl chloride or polyethylene, and are not reinforced or combined with other materials, nor fitted. These products will primarily consist of flexible plastic tubing or hoses that do not meet the specific material descriptions of the sibling categories. The classification hinges on the absence of reinforcing materials, the singular nature of the plastic composition, and the lack of attached fittings, differentiating them from more specialized or composite plastic conduits.

Unlike sibling categories 3917.32.00.10 (Of polyvinyl chloride) and 3917.32.00.20 (Of polyethylene), this residual category captures plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses made from any other plastic material not otherwise specified. Examples might include hoses made from polypropylene, acrylic polymers, or other less common plastic resins, provided they meet the other criteria of not being reinforced, combined with other materials, or fitted. The key differentiator is the specific plastic polymer used in their construction.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 3917.32.00.50. Classification to this specific code is therefore final for eligible products. Importers and exporters should carefully verify the exact plastic composition of the tubing, pipe, or hose, and confirm the absence of reinforcement, combination with other materials, or integrated fittings, to ensure accurate classification under this "other" designation.
