Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If mixed fluoropolymers
Reprocessed with other fluoro types <95% PTFE goes to other fluoropolymers.
If waste or scrap form
Actual polymer waste classifies as Chapter 39 waste, not primary forms.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Disclose reprocessed status to avoid virgin misrepresentation penalties; lower valuation but same duty
• Ensure no contamination for purity claims
