Fluorochlorinated Polyolefin Pellets from Mexico
Fluorochlorinated polyolefin pellets blend fluoro and chloro olefin monomers into a polymer used primarily for wire and cable coatings. These pellets are in primary form, as defined by Chapter 39 Note 6, and are classified under tariff item 3904.90.00 as 'Other' polymers of halogenated olefins, since they do not meet the specific subheading criteria for single-halogen polymers.

Import Tips
• Ensure the pellets are in primary forms (e.g
• granules or pellets) and not further worked, as this affects classification under 3904.90.00
• Provide a polymer composition breakdown to the CBSA to confirm the fluoro and chloro monomer content, as this determines whether the item falls under 'Other' rather than a more specific subheading
• Keep records of the manufacturing process to demonstrate the polymer is not a chemically modified version of a single-halogen polymer
