The European Commission's explanatory notes on how to classify goods in these CN codes. They are not legally binding but customs authorities follow them; they complement the HS Explanatory Notes of the World Customs Organization.
For the definition of the prefix ‘poly’, in the sense of this heading, see subheading note 1(a)(1) to this chapter.
General
The HS Explanatory Note to Chapter 39, General, ‘Combinations of plastics and materials other than textiles’, point (d), applies, mutatis mutandis, to combinations of carbon fibres and plastics.
Note 4
Calculation of mass ratios of monomer units in copolymers:
The mass ratios of the respective monomer units in copolymer chains are calculated based on the molecular structure of the copolymer (not the starting materials), taking into account the formation reaction of the polymer. When applicable, the atom linking two adjacent monomer units is attributed to the monomer unit from which the atom originates.
The following examples illustrate the calculation of the monomer unit content in copolymers:
Note 6
The term ‘solutions’, used both in this note and in note 4 to Chapter 32, does not apply to colloidal solutions.
For the definition of the term ‘primary forms’, see note 6 to this chapter and the HS General Explanatory Note to this chapter, ‘Primary Forms’.

Since 2022; before, these goods were classified under 3907 20 20.
CN code 3907 29 20 is a line of the EU Combined Nomenclature under HS subheading 3907.29 (polyacetals, other polyethers and epoxide resins: other polyethers, other).
The third-country duty is 6.5%, and quantities are declared in —.
148 countries pay no duty in the EU thanks to trade agreements and preference schemes such as GSP-EBA and CARIFORUM, against a standard rate of 6.5%.
Imports of other polyethers, primary (HS 3907.29) into the EU came to €885.1m between September 2025 and August 2026 (down 0% on the year before); China supplied 27%, followed by United States.
For the same subheading, the UK duty is 0%–6%, the Türkiye duty is 0%–6.5%, the US duty is 6.5%, the Canada duty is free, the Mexico duty is 0%–6%, the Brazil duty is 0%–12.6%, the Argentina duty is 0%–12.6%, the Peru duty is free, the New Zealand duty is 0%–5%, the Japan duty is 0%–2.8%, the Taiwan duty is 2.5%, the GCC duty is 5%, the Switzerland duty is free, the Norway duty is free, the North Macedonia duty is 3% and the Nigeria duty is 5%.
EU member states imported goods of subheading 3907.29 worth US$4bn in 2024; the largest supplier from outside the EU was China, and the United Kingdom ranked 2nd with US$146m.
The third-country duty in the EU Combined Nomenclature is 6.5%; the supplementary unit is —. Preferential rates for goods from agreement countries, anti-dumping duties and VAT are not included.
