## What this code covers

HS code 3916.10 covers monofilament of which any cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1 mm, rods, sticks and profile shapes, whether or not surface-worked but not otherwise worked, of plastics, of polymers of ethylene.

The legal text of the subheading is “Of polymers of ethylene”, in HS2022.

## What it doesn’t cover

Other goods of heading 39.16 are classified under 3916.20 (of polymers of vinyl chloride) or 3916.90 (of other plastics).

- [3916.20](https://staging.border.bot/hs-codes/391620) Of polymers of vinyl chloride
- [3916.90](https://staging.border.bot/hs-codes/391690) Of other plastics

## How it is structured

3916.10 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 39, are the chapter; the first four, 3916, are heading 39.16; the last two, 10, identify the subheading within the heading.

Countries add their own digits after these six for their national tariff lines.

- Chapter 39: Plastics and articles thereof
- Heading 39.16: Monofilament of which any cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1 mm, rods, sticks and profile shapes, whether or not surface-worked but not otherwise worked, of plastics
- Subheading 3916.10: Of polymers of ethylene

## In other countries

No national tariff lines under 3916.10 are live on border.bot yet. Tariffs built on the Harmonized System (HS2022) use 3916.10 at six digits and add their own digits after it.
