Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

3902.20Lower: 16.5% vs 41.5%

If copolymer with but-1-ene or 4-methylpent-1-ene specific

Specific butene copolymers have dedicated subheadings outside general propylene copolymers.

3910.00.00Lower: 38% vs 41.5%

If chemically modified with silicones

Silicone-modified polymers classify under 3910, per Chapter 39 notes on modifications.

3901.30Lower: 15.3% vs 41.5%

If ethylene-propylene comonomer units dominate

Named ethylene-propylene copolymers require 95% comonomer content for that subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance

Conduct lab testing on random samples for monomer ratio; U.S

Customs may require proof of copolymer status

Avoid shipping in compounded form with additives over 5%, as it risks moving to 39.21 other plastic plates

Declare exact trade names (e.g

'PP-Random Copolymer') matching supplier specs for binding ruling requests
