U.S. imports of vinyl chloride polymer monofilament, rods, sticks & profile shapes (cross-section > 1 mm) (SITC 58320) totaled $42.8M in April 2026, traded with 39 countries.
Importers of Vinyl Chloride Polymer Monofilament, Rods, Sticks & Profile Shapes (Cross-Section > 1 mm) paid $1.3M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 23% on $5.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Vinyl Chloride Polymer Monofilament, Rods, Sticks & Profile Shapes (Cross-Section > 1 mm) imports of $42.8M in April 2026 ran 10% above the year-to-date monthly average of $38.9M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPVC monofilaments, rods, sticks, and extruded profile shapes with a cross-section exceeding 1 mm are widely used in construction trim, electrical conduit, signage, and furniture edging, where PVC's chemical resistance and ease of extrusion are commercially valued. The vinyl chloride polymer designation covers both rigid and plasticized PVC formulations, and the specific compound formulation can affect both classification and end-use suitability. Importers sourcing from China should assess Section 301 exposure, as many PVC semi-finished forms are subject to additional tariffs.

The heading covers both rigid and plasticized (flexible) PVC forms, so plasticizer content alone does not change the classification at this level. However, if plasticizer content is high enough to alter the article's essential character — for example, making it more akin to a rubber article — a reclassification analysis under the relevant GRI rules may be warranted.
The commercial invoice and packing list should state the cross-sectional diameter or dimension in millimeters. For non-circular profiles, the largest cross-sectional dimension is typically used. Including a technical drawing or manufacturer's specification sheet that confirms the measurement exceeds 1 mm provides the strongest evidentiary support at entry.
