Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If octene comonomer >5%
Threshold violation sends to nonspecific ethylene polymers subheading.
If styrene monomer present and predominant
Styrene copolymers classified under heading 3903 if styrene units dominate.
If additive masterbatch blend
Polymer concentrates with colorants/antioxidants treated as preparations in 3824.
