More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the hexene comonomer content is more than 5% by weight
Ethylene-alpha-olefin copolymers are classified under this heading when the alpha-olefin content exceeds 5%.
If the specific gravity is 0.94 or above
Higher-density polyethylene is classified under this heading.
If the resin is an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer
Copolymers with vinyl acetate are classified here when the vinyl acetate content is significant.
