Notes that govern this classification
Zu Unterpositionen 3901 90 30 und 3901 90 80 In Anwendung der Anmerkung 4 und der Unterpositions-Anmerkung 1 zu Kapitel 39 gehören hierher: 1. Copolymere des Ethylens und anderer Monomere (ausgenommen Vinylacetat) (z. B. Copolymere aus Ethylen und Propylen), sowie Gemische von Polymeren analoger Zusammensetzung, bei denen das Ethylenmonomer vorherrscht; 2. chemisch modifiziertes Polyethylen im Sinne der Anmerkung 5 zu Kapitel 39 (z. B. Polyethylenchlorid und Polyethylenchlorosulfid).
1. Als „Kunststoffe" gelten in der Nomenklatur die Stoffe der Positionen 3901 bis 3914, die im Zeitpunkt der Polymerisation oder in einem späteren Stadium unter einer äußeren Einwirkung (im Allgemeinen Wärme und Druck, falls erforderlich auch unter Zuhilfenahme von Lösemitteln oder Weichmachern) durch Gießen, Pressen, Strangpressen, Walzen oder ein anderes Verfahren eine Form erhalten können oder erhalten haben, die auch nach Beendigung der äußeren Einwirkung erhalten bleibt (RV E3901100). Der Begriff „Kunststoffe" umfasst in der Nomenklatur auch Vulkanfiber. Dagegen ist dieser Begriff nicht anwendbar auf Stoffe, die als Spinnstoffe des Abschnitts XI gelten (RV E3901200). 2. …
1. Warenzusammenstellungen, die aus zwei oder mehreren voneinander getrennten Bestandteilen bestehen, von denen einige oder alle zu diesem Abschnitt gehören, und die erkennbar dazu bestimmt sind, durch Vermischen ein Erzeugnis des Abschnitts VI oder VII herzustellen, sind der für dieses Erzeugnis zutreffenden Position zuzuweisen unter der Voraussetzung, dass die Einzelbestandteile: a) ohne weiteres Umpacken aufgrund ihrer Aufmachung eindeutig erkennbar dazu bestimmt sind, zusammen verwendet zu werden (RV C0701A00) b) zusammen gestellt werden und (RV C0701B00) c) entweder aufgrund ihrer Beschaffenheit oder ihrer entsprechenden Mengen als einander ergänzend erkennbar sind (RV C0701C00). 2. …

Classification turns on the material, function, and intended use of the goods, not on their trade name.
What is the duty rate for 3901.90.30.00?
The third-country duty rate for 3901.90.30.00 is 0 %. Goods originating in a country with a preferential agreement may qualify for a lower rate against valid proof of origin.
What is the HS code for 3901.90.30.00?
The first six digits form the HS code: 390190. Those are uniform worldwide, while the further digits carry the EU Combined Nomenclature and the national subdivision.
How many digits does 3901.90.30.00 have?
3901.90.30.00 has ten digits and carries the EU measures held in TARIC. A German import declaration requires the eleven-digit commodity code.
Where does 3901.90.30.00 sit in the tariff?
3901.90.30.00 sits in this hierarchy: 39 PLASTICS AND ARTICLES THEREOF > 3901 Polymers of ethylene, in primary forms > 390190 Other > 39019030 Ionomer resin consisting of a salt of a terpolymer of ethylene with isobutyl acrylate and methacrylic acid; A-B-A block copolymer of polystyrene, ethylene-butylene copolymer and polystyrene, containing by weight 35 % or less of styrene, in one of the forms mentioned in note 6(b) to this chapter. The parent headings and their notes help decide whether the classification holds.
Is there binding tariff information for 3901.90.30.00?
Yes. The EBTI database holds decisions on 3901.90.30.00, for example ITBTI2020-0276C-024100. A BTI shows which product characteristics the customs authority relied on.
