Alternative Classifications

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

3901.20Lower: 16.5% vs 41.5%

If with butene-1 comonomer predominant

Linear medium density with specific comonomers may classify as ethylene copolymers if butene exceeds ethylene predominance.

3901.10Same rate: 41.5%

If specific gravity 0.94 or higher

High density polyethylene starts at sg ≥0.94, separate provision in hierarchy.

3907.99Lower: 16.5% vs 41.5%

If heavily chemically modified

Modified polymers not covered specifically go to 'Other' polyethers or similar under note (a)(3).

Import Tips & Compliance

Submit hydrostatic design basis (HDB) certs for pipe-grade MDPE

Ensure no masterbatch additives push comonomers over 5%

Declare exact density range to prevent shifts to HDPE headings
