Polypropylene-Ethylene Copolymer Resin from Japan
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.

Import Tips
• 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
