Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If copolymerized with other halogenated olefins
Copolymers where PTFE monomer <95% classified by predominant monomer under subheading note (a)(4).
If chemically modified or processed beyond primary form
Modified fluoropolymers not meeting pure polymer criteria fall into chemical preparations.
If pre-formed into finished articles like sheets or rods
Shift from primary forms (Chapter 39 heading 3904) to other plastic articles (heading 3926).
