Alternative Classifications

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

3901.10.50Same rate: 41.5%

If contains linear comonomers like 1-butene

LLDPE distinguished by short-chain branching from alpha-olefin comonomers, explicitly separated from branched LDPE.

3902.90.00Lower: 31.5% vs 41.5%

If copolymerized with propylene >5%

Predominant monomer shifts classification to polymers of propylene if propylene exceeds ethylene by weight.

3907.99Lower: 16.5% vs 41.5%

If chemically modified with antioxidants

Subheading note (a)(3) places chemically modified polymers in 'Other' if not specifically provided, but for ethylene series it's 3901.10.50.50.
