Last updated: August 2026 dataVinyl chloride polymer flat forms — commonly called PVC film or sheet — are differentiated in trade by plasticizer content: flexible (plasticized) PVC sheet serves flooring, upholstery, and medical tubing applications, while rigid (unplasticized, uPVC) sheet is used in signage, construction profiles, and credit-card stock. This heading excludes self-adhesive and reinforced or laminated constructions, so the as-imported form must be a standalone, non-composite flat shape. Antidumping and countervailing duty orders have historically targeted certain PVC flat products from specific origins, making a thorough AD/CVD scope review an important pre-import step.

At the SITC level, both plasticized (flexible) and unplasticized (rigid) PVC flat forms share this heading. At the US HTS level, however, specific 10-digit lines may distinguish between flexible and rigid PVC sheet, and the plasticizer content or Shore hardness may be relevant to the correct statistical suffix. Importers should obtain a technical data sheet confirming plasticizer type and percentage before filing.
Yes — certain PVC flat products have been subject to AD/CVD orders from specific countries. Importers should conduct a scope review against current Commerce Department orders before entry, as the product description and country of origin both determine applicability. A licensed customs broker or trade attorney can assist with scope ruling requests if the product's coverage is uncertain.
