Description of other plastic articles
CN code 3926 90 covers plastic articles not included in any other heading of Chapter 39 or other chapters. This is one of the most diverse customs codes, covering hundreds of products: wall plugs, cable ties, seals and gaskets, cable duct covers, security seals, information boards, labels, machine components, silicone moulds, parking bollards, plastic mirrors and many other technical and consumer products.
Regulatory requirements
Import is subject to REACH with product-specific requirements. Construction articles (wall plugs, duct covers) may require CE marking. Food contact articles must comply with Regulation (EU) No 10/2011. Machine components fall under the Machinery Directive. The GPSR covers consumer products. Electrical components fall under LVD and RoHS. Importers must individually identify applicable regulations for each product type.
Trade and classification
CN code 3926 90 is one of the largest codes by import volume into the EU. It is a residual code used after excluding all other Chapter 39 headings. Customs documentation should precisely describe the product, material and intended use, as classification under this code is frequently challenged by customs authorities.
