Low Density Polyethylene Resin LDPE 0025
This is a standard low density polyethylene (LDPE) resin with a melt index of 25 g/10 min and specific gravity below 0.94, excluding linear variants. It meets HTS 3901.10.5020 as it is a polyethylene polymer where ethylene monomer units contribute over 95% by weight. Primarily used in film blowing for plastic bags and packaging.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE)
Linear variants with butene or hexene comonomers are specifically excluded and classified separately, even if density <0.94.
If ethylene copolymer with <95% ethylene
Per subheading note (a)(4), copolymers where ethylene does not predominate by weight over other monomers fall under 'other polymers of ethylene'.
If imported as a solution in hydrocarbon solvent
Polymer solutions in organic solvents are classified under petroleum gases/liquids rather than primary form polymers.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify specific gravity <0.94 and ethylene content >95% via lab testing to confirm non-LLDPE classification
• Provide manufacturer's spec sheets showing melt index and density
• Avoid misclassification as LLDPE (3901.10.50.40) by documenting non-linear structure
