Description of other plastic building articles
CN code 3925 90 covers plastic building articles not in subheadings 3925 10-3925 30. This residual code includes gutters and downpipes, skirting boards and trims, wall and ceiling panels, corner profiles, installation housings, ventilation grilles, fencing elements, WPC (wood-plastic composite) decking and facade elements. PVC dominates gutters due to corrosion resistance. PVC wall panels are an economical alternative to ceramic tiles.
Regulatory requirements and building standards
Import is subject to the Construction Products Regulation (EU 305/2011) for products covered by harmonised standards. PVC gutters must meet EN 607 or EN 12200. WPC decking should comply with EN 15534. PVC wall panels are subject to reaction to fire standards (EN 13501-1). REACH applies, particularly regarding PVC stabilisers.
Trade and classification
Code 3925 90 is residual after excluding tanks (3925 10), doors/windows (3925 20) and shutters/blinds (3925 30). PVC profiles without defined building application may be classified under 3916. Imports originate from China, Turkey and Eastern Europe.

Do WPC decking boards require CE marking?
WPC boards for decking should comply with EN 15534, but mandatory CE marking situations are complex as not all WPC applications are covered by harmonised standards. Manufacturers may voluntarily apply CE marking. Key parameters include abrasion resistance, water absorption, dimensional stability and reaction to fire.
What standards apply to PVC gutters?
PVC-U gutters must comply with EN 607 (half-round roof gutters) or EN 12200 (PVC-U gutter systems). Standards specify dimensional requirements, mechanical strength, temperature resistance, UV resistance and joint durability. Gutters should carry CE marking and a declaration of performance.
Do products CN 3925 90 require CE marking for EU import?
Yes, products CN 3925 90 as construction products require CE marking under CPR (EU) 305/2011. A Declaration of Performance (DoP) and compliance with the relevant harmonised EN standard are mandatory.
