Classification dispute over plastic rectangular panels turns on GRI application and essential character. Applying Rule 1 and relevant Chapter Notes, the panels retain the character of plates/sheets of plastic rather than structural builders' ware because interlocking/profiling is formed during original extrusion and does not constitute "further working"; attachment is temporary and panels function as decorative wall coverings substituting paint or wallpaper. Consequently, the goods are classifiable under heading 3921 by polymer: polystyrene sheets under 39211100, polyvinyl chloride under 39211200, polyurethane sheets under 39211390, and other plastic sheets under 39219029, subject to field verification of composition and construction.
