Metallocene Polypropylene Homopolymer
A narrow molecular weight distribution polypropylene homopolymer (>95% propylene units) produced using metallocene catalysts for films and fibers with uniform properties. HTS 3902.10.00.00 applies via subheading note (a)(1) for pure propylene polymers in primary forms like pellets. Ideal for BOPP film production.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If blended with polyethylene
Blends classify by predominant monomer series per subheading note (b), potentially shifting to 'Other'.
If converted to non-primary sheets/films
Plates, sheets, and strips of polymers lose 'primary forms' status under Chapter 39 heading 3920.
If artificial graphite compounded
Additive-heavy compounds may classify as chemical preparations if polymer not principal characteristic.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include catalyst type and MWD data in commercial invoice; CBP may test melt index
• Avoid compounding with additives pre-import to prevent 3920 reclassification
• Common issue: pellet contamination leading to purity disputes
