Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) Resin from Canada
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).

Import Tips
• Verify monomer composition via certificate of analysis to confirm ethylene units >95% by weight for this subheading
• Provide detailed technical data sheets showing copolymer type to avoid misclassification as generic polyethylene
• Watch for blends; if no single monomer predominates, it may shift to 'Other' under subheading rules
