Chapter 39: Plastics and articles thereof

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 391739 when importing or exporting plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses that are not specifically classified elsewhere. For example, if you're shipping flexible plastic tubing used in irrigation systems, this code applies.

This code falls under the broader category of plastics, specifically focusing on tubes, pipes, and hoses. Unlike HS-6 391730, which covers specific fittings like joints and elbows, 391739 is for general plastic tubes and hoses that don't fit those specific classifications.

When dealing with plastic tubes and pipes, it's important to note that 391739 includes products made from various types of plastics, such as PVC or polyethylene. These items can be used in a range of applications from construction to automotive industries.

If you're unsure whether your product fits this code, consider if it is a tube or hose made of plastic and not specifically designed for a particular use, as that could lead you to a different HS-6 line.
