Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

3901.10Same rate: 41.5%

If not specifically 'linear low density polyethylene'

Other polyethylene <0.94 specific gravity excluding explicitly named LLDPE falls in 3901.10.90

2712.90Lower: 10% vs 41.5%

If imported as hydrocarbon solvent mixture

Petroleum-derived polymers not meeting pure polymer criteria may classify as petrochemicals

3901.20Lower: 16.5% vs 41.5%

If polystyrene copolymer with <95% ethylene

Subheading notes require classification by predominant monomer when ethylene falls below threshold
