Polypropylene-Ethylene Copolymer Resin
A copolymer resin where propylene monomer units contribute over 95% by weight, with ethylene as the comonomer, meeting subheading note (a)(2) for propylene copolymers in HTS 3902.30.00.00. Used primarily in injection molding for durable plastic parts. Classified here due to predominant propylene content in primary pellet form.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If homopolymer without significant comonomers
Pure polypropylene (95%+ propylene monomers only) falls under propylene polymers, not copolymers.
If ethylene predominates over propylene
Per subheading note (a)(4), classification follows the monomer unit that predominates by weight.
If copolymers of other olefins with multiple comonomers
Other olefin copolymers not specifically named shift to this residual subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain detailed monomer composition certificates from suppliers to verify 95% propylene threshold per subheading note (a)(2)
• Label shipments clearly as 'primary form copolymers' to prevent confusion with finished articles in Chapter 39 headings
