1. Throughout the Nomenclature, the term “plastics” means materials of headings 3901 to 3914 which are capable, upon polymerization or at any subsequent stage, of taking a given shape under the influence of external influence (usually temperature and pressure, and if necessary with the use of a solvent or plasticizer) and of retaining it after the elimination of external influences such as pressing, casting, extruding, calendration or otherwise.

Throughout the Nomenclature, the term “plastic” also means vulcanized fibre, but does not apply to materials considered textile in Section XI.

4. The term “copolymers” means all polymers in which no monomer unit constitutes 95 % or more by weight of the total polymer content.

For the purposes of this Chapter, unless otherwise specified in the context, copolymers (including copolycondensates, additive copolymerization products, block copolymers and grafted copolymers) and mixtures of polymers are classified in the same heading as polymers of a comonomer unit predominant by weight over any other individual comonomer unit. In this note, comonomeric units forming polymers falling within the same heading are to be considered together.

If no comonomer unit predominates, copolymers or polymer mixtures shall, as the case may be, be classified in the heading, the latter in ascending order of codes among the equivalent headings in question.

5. Chemically modified polymers in which only the side chains of the main polymer chain have been altered by chemical action are classified in the heading corresponding to the unmodified polymer. This condition does not apply to grafted copolymers.

6. For the purposes of headings 3901 to 3914, the term “primary forms” means only the following forms:

(a) liquids and pastes, including dispersions (emulsions, suspensions) and solutions;

(b) irregularly shaped blocks, pieces, powders (including press powders), granules, flakes and similar bulk forms.

7. Heading 3915 does not cover waste, pruning and scraping of a single thermoplastic material processed into primary forms (headings 3901 to 3914).

8. For the purposes of heading 3917, the term “pipes, tubes and hoses” means hollow articles or semi-finished articles or finished articles commonly used for the transport, supply or distribution of gases or liquids (e.g., grooved garden hose, perforated pipes). This term also means shells for sausage products and other pipes taking a flat shape. However, with the exception of the latter, articles having an internal cross-section of a different shape than a circle, an oval, a rectangle (in which the length is not more than 1.5 times the width) or a regular polygon are considered not as pipes, tubes and hoses, but as shaped profiles.

9. For the purpose of heading 3918, the term “wall or ceiling coverings of plastics” means articles in rolls of not less than 45 cm wide, used for the decoration of walls or ceilings, consisting of plastics fixed on a substrate of any material other than paper, the plastic layer (on the front surface) being generally decorated by embossing, ruffling, staining, printing or otherwise.

10. For the purposes of headings 3920 and 3921, the term “slabs, sheets, film and strips or tapes” means only plates, sheets, film and strips or tapes (other than those included in Chapter 54), and blocks of regular geometric shape, with or without a pattern or with a surface treated in another way, not cut or cut into rectangles (including squares), but without further processing (even if by such operations they become finished products).

Subheading notes

English text as published in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2021/1832 (Combined Nomenclature). The EAEU tariff and the EU nomenclature copy these notes from the same convention. For a Russian declaration the binding version is the Russian one: Annex to Decision No 80 of the EEC Council of 14 September 2021.

1. Within any one heading of this chapter, polymers (including copolymers) and chemically modified polymers are to be classified according to the following provisions:

(a) where there is a subheading named ‘Other’ in the same series:

(1) the designation in a subheading of a polymer by the prefix ‘poly’ (for example, polyethylene and polyamide-6,6) means that the constituent monomer unit or monomer units of the named polymer taken together must contribute 95 % or more by weight of the total polymer content;

(2) the copolymers named in subheadings 3901 30, 3901 40, 3903 20, 3903 30 and 3904 30 are to be classified in those subheadings, provided that the comonomer units of the named copolymers contribute 95 % or more by weight of the total polymer content;

(3) chemically modified polymers are to be classified in the subheading named ‘Other’, provided that the chemically modified polymers are not more specifically covered by another subheading;

(4) polymers not meeting (1), (2) or (3) above, are to be classified in the subheading, among the remaining subheadings in the series, covering polymers of that monomer unit which predominates by weight over every other single comonomer unit. For this purpose, constituent monomer units of polymers falling in the same subheading shall be taken together. Only the constituent comonomer units of the polymers in the series of subheadings under consideration are to be compared;

(b) where there is no subheading named ‘Other’ in the same series:

(1) polymers are to be classified in the subheading covering polymers of that monomer unit which predominates by weight over every other single comonomer unit. For this purpose, constituent monomer units of polymers falling in the same subheading shall be taken together. Only the constituent comonomer units of the polymers in the series under consideration are to be compared;

(2) chemically modified polymers are to be classified in the subheading appropriate to the unmodified polymer. Polymer blends are to be classified in the same subheading as polymers of the same monomer units in the same proportions.

2. For the purposes of subheading 3920 43, the term ‘plasticisers’ includes secondary plasticisers.
