Alternative Classifications

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

3901.10.10.00Same rate: 41.5%

If specific gravity <0.926

Polyethylene with lower density qualifies as low density polyethylene in the specific gravity <0.94 series.

3901.20Lower: 16.5% vs 41.5%

If contains >5% propylene comonomer

Predominant monomer shifts to propylene, moving to copolymers of ethylene with propylene per subheading note (a)(4).

3901.90.90Lower: 31.5% vs 41.5%

If chemically modified or with significant additives

Chemically modified polymers or those not meeting 95% ethylene threshold fall under 'Other' per subheading note (a)(3).

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify specific gravity certification (0.926-0.940) and monomer content (>95% ethylene) via lab testing to confirm classification

Provide melt flow index and density specs in entry docs to avoid reclassification to low density

Ensure pellets are free of additives exceeding 5% to stay in primary forms
