Branched LDPE Extrusion Grade for Pipes from Japan
Traditional branched LDPE resin for pipe extrusion, density 0.918, used in flexible tubing. HTS 3901.10.5020 applies to this non-linear LDPE primary form where ethylene constitutes 95%+ by weight. Distinguished from LLDPE by high-pressure polymerization process.

Import Tips
• Include polymerization process documentation (high-pressure free radical confirms non-linear LDPE)
• Test for crystallinity to differentiate from HDPE
• Ensure packaging labels specify 'LDPE except LLDPE'
