Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the blend is a compound plasticizer for rubber or plastics, not a separate chemically defined compound
Compound plasticizers are classified in heading 38.12 when they are mixtures of plasticizers.
If the product is a polymer in primary form, not a plasticizer
Polyesters in primary forms fall under heading 39.07.
