Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If vinyl chloride monomer predominates by weight
Per subheading note (a)(4), classification follows the predominant monomer; VC-dominant terpolymers go to 'other' vinyl chloride polymers.
If polyethylene-like with minimal comonomers
If ethylene exceeds 95% with trace comonomers, it qualifies as polyethylene under 3901.10 per note (a)(1).
If imported as petroleum sulfonate blend
Polymer blends not meeting pure terpolymer criteria may classify as additives for rubber/plastics.

Import Tips & Compliance
β’ Obtain detailed FTIR or NMR analysis reports proving terpolymer ratios to avoid reclassification
β’ Declare as primary form only if not compounded
β’ Pitfall: blending with fillers may push into Chapter 39 plates/sheets (3920)
