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.
3919 · Self-adhesive plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, strip and other flat shapes, of plastics, whether or not in rolls
For the definition of the term ‘self-adhesive’, see the HS Explanatory Note to heading 3919, first paragraph. This heading does not cover flat shapes of plastics, which adhere only to smooth surfaces such as glass.
The goods of this heading frequently have a protective release sheet or strip of paper or plastics. This protective sheet or strip is not taken into account in determining the classification.
General notes to the chapter
PLASTICS AND ARTICLES THEREOF
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:
In poly(ethylene terephthalate), which is a polyester comprised of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol moieties, both alcoholic oxygens are attributed to the glycol monomer unit. Hence, ethylene glycol is calculated as C2H4O2, and terephthalate is calculated as C8H4O2.
In polyamide-6,6, which is a polyamide comprised of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid, both nitrogen atoms are attributed to the diamine monomer unit. Hence, hexamethylenediamine is calculated as C6H14N2 and adipic acid is calculated as C6H8O2.
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’.
