Plasticized PVC Polymer Mixtures in Primary Forms imports of $3.6M in July 2026 ran 21% below the year-to-date monthly average of $4.6M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataPlasticized PVC compounds incorporate phthalate, adipate, or other plasticizer systems to produce flexible formulations used in wire and cable insulation, flooring, medical tubing, and automotive seating. Classified under 3904220000, these compounds are distinguished from nonplasticized grades by the presence of plasticizers, which fundamentally alter mechanical properties and end-use suitability. Mexico and Canada are the top suppliers, reflecting integrated North American compounding operations, with Italy a notable European source for specialty flexible compounds. USMCA origin rules are frequently applied to shipments from Mexico and Canada.

Certain plasticizers — particularly phthalates such as DEHP, DBP, and BBP — are regulated under the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) in articles intended for children. While the PVC compound itself clears customs under 3904220000, downstream articles made from it may be subject to CPSC testing and certification requirements. Importers of finished goods should verify plasticizer identity and concentration with their suppliers.
The presence of a plasticizer is the controlling criterion for 3904.22 classification; additional fillers or stabilizers do not displace the compound from this subheading. However, if filler content is so high that the product is more properly described as a filled compound or masterbatch, importers should consider whether Chapter 39 Note 6 primary-forms criteria are still met and consult a licensed customs broker.
