Alternative Classifications

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

3901.40.00Same rate: 41.5%

If ethylene-propylene copolymer >=95%

Specific named copolymers with predominant ethylene/propylene units go to dedicated subheading.

3921.90Lower: 14.8% vs 41.5%

If formed into finished packaging articles >38.1x45.7cm

US note excludes larger plastic articles from certain free rates, but finished goods shift from primary forms entirely.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 41.5%

If prepared with chemical additives >5%

Polymer preparations chemically defined mixtures shift to heading 3824.
