Tariff classification
HTS codes: 3925.90.0000
Headings: 3925
Product description
The radiator insulation panel is composed of metallized polyvinyl chloride plastic. The panel is used as a reflector for radiators and baseboard heaters. Through the application of an adhesive, the panel is secured to the wall behind the radiator or heater. The panel thermodynamically sweeps warm air from behind the radiator back into the room, evenly heating the room and conserving energy. You have suggested classification in subheading 3921.90.50, HTS, which provides for certain plastic sheet. The panel, however, with its various rows of ridges, is advanced beyond the definition of sheet provided in legal note 10 of chapter 39 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the radiator insulator panel will be 3925.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for builders' ware of plastics, not elsewhere specified or included: other.
