RE: The tariff classification of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheets from Italy.
Dear Mr. Zinger:
In your letter dated January 6, 2005, on behalf of Delmar Products, Inc, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
Samples were provided with your letter. The PVC sheets will be imported in rolls. The sheets are available in thicknesses of .007 inch, .010 inch, .013 inch, .015 inch and .020 inch.

The sheets are said to be rigid and they do not contain any plasticizers.
