3918.10.20.00 - Other

This HTS category, 3918.10.20.00, encompasses "Other" floor coverings of plastics, specifically those made from polymers of vinyl chloride, when they are not in the form of tiles and are not self-adhesive. This designation applies to vinyl chloride floor coverings that are presented in rolls. The key distinguishing factor from its sibling category, 3918.10.10 (Vinyl tile), is the form of presentation. While "Vinyl tile" covers pre-cut, modular pieces, this "Other" category covers materials that are typically sold or imported in continuous lengths or large sheets on rolls.

The primary function of these goods is to serve as a protective or decorative layer for floors. They are characterized by their composition of vinyl chloride polymers, offering durability and resistance to wear and moisture. The "Other" designation serves as a residual category for vinyl chloride floor coverings in rolls that do not meet the specific criteria for self-adhesive products, which would be classified elsewhere.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification of a product under 3918.10.20.00 hinges on its material (polymers of vinyl chloride), its function (floor covering), its form of presentation (in rolls), and the absence of self-adhesive properties. This ensures that all vinyl chloride floor coverings not specifically designated as tiles or self-adhesive are appropriately accounted for.
