Marlex LLDPE 0202HN Linear Low Density Polyethylene Resin from Japan

Marlex LLDPE 0202HN is a high-density linear low density polyethylene resin with a specific gravity less than 0.94, produced by copolymerization of ethylene with butene-1. It falls under HTS 3901.10.5010 as it meets the 'polyethylene' designation where ethylene monomer units contribute 95% or more by weight. Primarily used for blown film applications in packaging.

Import Tips

• Verify specific gravity is below 0.94 and ethylene content exceeds 95% by weight per subheading notes to avoid reclassification

• Provide manufacturer's specification sheets documenting LLDPE composition and primary form (pellets/resin)

• Common pitfall: blends with >5% other monomers shift to predominant monomer subheading
