Description of plastic shutters and blinds

CN code 3925 30 covers shutters, blinds, roller blinds and similar articles of plastics and parts thereof. PVC-U is the dominant material. PVC blinds serve as sun protection in horizontal, vertical and louvre forms. External roller shutters provide thermal insulation, noise protection and security. PVC shutters offer an alternative to wooden ones, especially in Mediterranean climates.

Regulatory requirements and standards

Import is subject to the Construction Products Regulation (EU 305/2011). EN 13659 covers external shutters, EN 13120 internal blinds, EN 13561 awnings and sun protection. Internal blinds with cords must meet child safety requirements under EN 13120 and EN 16433. REACH applies to PVC chemicals. The GPSR covers consumer products.

Plastic shutters and blinds under 3925 30. Wooden shutters under 4418, aluminium under 7610/7616. Roller blinds with electric motors remain under 3925 30 if plastics give the essential character.
