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 specific gravity is 0.94 or above
This heading covers polyethylene with a specific gravity of 0.94 or more, so a higher-density resin would be classified there.
If the resin is an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer
Copolymers with vinyl acetate as a comonomer are classified under this heading, provided the vinyl acetate content is significant.
If the resin is an ethylene-alpha-olefin copolymer
Copolymers of ethylene with alpha-olefins (e.g., butene, hexene) are classified here when the alpha-olefin comonomer content is more than 5% by weight.
