Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 391890 when importing or exporting floor, wall, or ceiling coverings made of plastics, excluding vinyl chloride polymers. For example, self-adhesive plastic tiles for home renovation fall under this code.
This code specifically covers plastic coverings not made from vinyl chloride, which distinguishes it from HS-6 391810 that includes those made from vinyl. If you're dealing with non-vinyl plastic materials, this is the right classification.
Floor coverings like rubber-backed plastic mats or decorative wall panels made from polyethylene or polypropylene would also fit here. If your product is a self-adhesive plastic sheet for ceilings, it qualifies under this subheading.
When considering related products, note that HS-6 391899 addresses other plastic articles not specifically covered in this category. Ensure your product aligns with the definitions to avoid misclassification.
