Products classified under HTS 3901.90.55.01
Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) Resin
LLDPE is an ethylene copolymer produced by copolymerizing ethylene with butene, hexene, or octene, where ethylene monomer units exceed 95% by weight. It is supplied in primary pellet form for extrusion into films and packaging. Classified under 3901.90.55.01 as it meets the specific ethylene copolymer criteria per subheading note (a)(2).
Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA) Copolymer Pellets
EVA copolymer pellets contain ethylene monomer units comprising 95% or more by weight, copolymerized with vinyl acetate for flexibility. Used in primary form for adhesives, footwear, and films. Fits 3901.90.55.01 per subheading note (a)(2) for specified ethylene copolymers.
EVA Copolymer for Hot-Melt Adhesives
Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin in primary prill form, ethylene monomers >95% by weight, optimized for hot-melt adhesive applications. Supplied uncompounded for further processing. Precisely fits HTS 3901.90.55.01 ethylene copolymers subheading.
Butene-Ethylene Copolymer Pellets (VLDPE)
Very low-density polyethylene (VLDPE) pellets from ethylene-butene copolymerization, ethylene >95% weight, for flexible films. Primary form granules enable stretch film production. Classified per 3901.90.55.01 subheading note (a)(2).
EVA Copolymer Powder for Compounding
Fine powder form of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene >95% by weight, used as base resin for masterbatches. Primary form allows dry blending before processing. Fits 3901.90.55.01 per official subheading notes.
Ethylene-Alpha-Olefin Copolymer Granules
Granules of ethylene copolymerized with alpha-olefins like 1-hexene, with ethylene >95% by weight, in primary form for blow molding. Provides enhanced strength for bottles and containers. Classified here under ethylene copolymers per HTS 3901.90.55.01 and subheading rules.
Metallocene-Catalyzed Ethylene-Hexene Copolymer
Advanced metallocene LLDPE copolymer with ethylene and 1-hexene monomers, ethylene constituting over 95% by weight in pellet form. Offers superior clarity and strength for food packaging films. Meets 3901.90.55.01 as a qualifying ethylene copolymer.
High-Clarity Ethylene-Octene Copolymer
Ethylene-octene copolymer resin pellets for optical packaging films, with ethylene monomers dominating at >95% by weight. Primary form suited for cast film extrusion. Qualifies under HTS 3901.90.55.01 for ethylene copolymers.
LDPE-like Ethylene-Butene Copolymer Resin
Ethylene-butene copolymer resin mimicking LDPE properties but via copolymerization, ethylene >95% weight in pellets. For injection molding applications. Classified as ethylene copolymer under 3901.90.55.01.
