Harmonized System Code Classification

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

Specifically, this classification is based on the following reasons:

• Material composition: Products primarily made of plastic.
• Product scope: It covers various types of plastics, including thermoplastics, thermosetting plastics, etc., as well as various products made of plastics, such as plastic sheets, plastic films, plastic pipes, plastic packaging, plastic containers, plastic furniture, and so on.
• Initial classification: The first two digits "39" of the HS code are the identifier for the initial classification of all plastics and articles of plastics. The subsequent digits of the code will further subdivide the types of plastics and their specific uses.

In short, if your product is mainly composed of plastic or is made of plastic, it is likely to fall under the HS code category "39".

The first four digits "3905" are classified as:

Polymers of vinyl acetate or other vinyl esters, in primary forms; other vinyl polymers, in primary forms.

The first six digits "3905.91" are classified as:

Polymers of vinyl acetate or other vinyl esters, in primary forms; other vinyl polymers, in primary forms:

• Other:
  • Copolymers:
    • Containing 50% or more by weight of derivatives of vinyl acetate.

The 8-10 digits have no corresponding HS code, indicating that the user-entered HS code is incorrect.
