Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "39" represent "Plastics and articles of plastics."

The specific classification reasons are as follows:

The HS code system divides goods into 21 major categories, each of which is further subdivided into several chapters. Chapter 39 is specifically used for "Plastics and articles of plastics."

• Plastics are broadly defined: This includes various types of plastics, such as thermoplastic, thermosetting plastics, synthetic resins, etc.
• The range of products is broad: It includes various plastic products, such as plastic sheets, plastic films, plastic tubes, plastic containers, plastic packaging, plastic furniture, plastic toys, etc.

Therefore, if the main component of the product is plastic, or the product is made of plastic, it is usually classified under Chapter 39.

It is important to note: Even if a product contains plastic, it must be classified based on its specific composition, use, and function. For example, if a product is made of metal but has a layer of plastic on the surface, it may be classified under the chapter related to metal products.

The first four digits explanation: 3903

• Classification: Polymers of styrene, primary shape
• Meaning: Refers to the primary shape of styrene polymers.

The six-digit explanation: HS code: 3903.11

Classification: Polymers of styrene, primary shape: --> Polystyrene: --> Expandable

Meaning: Refers to the primary shape of styrene polymers, specifically polystyrene that is expandable.

The 8-10 digit explanation: hscode: 3903110000 Classification: Polymers of styrene, primary shape: --> Polystyrene: --> Expandable Explanation: This HS code belongs to the primary shape of styrene polymers, and more specifically, it is classified as expandable polystyrene.

Examples of products: * Expanded polystyrene beads (used in insulation and packaging) * Expandable polystyrene sheets (used in construction and packaging) * Raw polystyrene granules for manufacturing expandable polystyrene products * Polystyrene foams used in cushioning and thermal insulation applications
