Polyethylene Wax Emulsion for Polishes from Mexico

A water-dispersible polyethylene wax emulsion used in floor and furniture polish formulations. This product is an artificial wax of a waxy character with a basis of polyethylene wax dispersed in a liquid medium. Although chapter note 5(d) excludes waxes dispersed in a liquid medium, this product is classified under tariff item 3404.90.90 as 'Other' prepared waxes, as it is not a finished polish.

Import Tips

• Verify the product is an emulsion and not a solid wax, as liquid dispersions may be excluded from heading 34.04

• If the emulsion is put up for retail sale as a polish, it may be classified under heading 34.05

• Provide a technical data sheet showing the polyethylene content and dispersion medium
