CBP's Ruling
| Item | HTS code | CBP's description of the line |
|---|---|---|
| PVC plastic covered/coated fiberglass screen | HTS 3926.90.9989 | Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: Other: Other: Other |
Explanation
CBP found the screen similar to the product in an earlier New York ruling, M80506, and classified it under heading 3926, other articles of plastics.
The screen is fiberglass covered and coated with PVC plastic, and the requester put it at 75 percent plastic. CBP treated it as an article of plastic that isn't more specifically covered anywhere else in the schedule, so it lands on the heading's residual line for other articles.
Headings CBP ruled out
- heading 5903, the heading the requester proposed: CBP pointed to Chapter 59 Note 1, which it said excludes this material from that chapter.
Does this apply to your product?
It likely does if you can answer yes to each of these:
- Is it a fiberglass screen covered or coated with PVC plastic?
- Is plastic the larger share of the material, with fiberglass the smaller share?
- Is it made for screen enclosures such as swimming pool cages?
A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
