Ethylene-Butene Copolymer Granules from Japan
Granules of ethylene-butene copolymer (plastomer grade) with 97% ethylene for stretch films. HTS 3901.90.90.00 applies as 'other' since butene <5%, not specific LDPE/LLDPE. Classification by predominant ethylene monomer weight.

Import Tips
• Provide GPC (gel permeation chromatography) data showing molecular weight distribution
• Ensure granules <6mm to confirm primary form, avoiding parts classification
