Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as profiles of polymers of styrene
Pre-formed profiles/tubes are fabricated articles under 3916, not primary polymers.
If predominant monomer is methyl methacrylate
Note (a)(4) classifies by weight-dominant monomer to acrylic polymers heading.
If cellular articles of styrene polymers
Foamed/porous finished goods move to 3921 cellular plastics.
