HS HEADING 3918

Floor coverings of plastics, self-adhesive or not, in rolls or tiles; wall or ceiling coverings of plastics, in rolls of a width not less than 45cm

In plain English

This category includes plastic floor coverings, whether self-adhesive or not, that come in rolls or tiles, as well as plastic wall or ceiling coverings in rolls at least 45 centimeters wide. The goods are split into two groups based on the type of plastic used. One group covers items made from polymers of vinyl chloride, regardless of whether they are self-adhesive or shaped as tiles. The other group includes similar items made from other plastics that are not polymers of vinyl chloride.
