Virgin Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin
Pure polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin in granular form, consisting of 100% PTFE monomer units, used as a base material for molding into sheets, rods, or other shapes. It falls under HTS 3904.61.00 as it meets the 'poly' prefix requirement of 95% or more PTFE content by weight in primary form.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If copolymerized with minor comonomers
Copolymers not meeting 95% PTFE threshold classify under 'other fluoropolymers' based on predominant monomer.
If chemically modified extensively
Heavily modified polymers may fall under polyethylene series if base structure aligns, per subheading note (a)(3).
If imported as non-primary powder for direct use
Processed PTFE powders not in primary forms shift to plates, sheets, and other shapes.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify polymer purity via certificate of analysis to confirm 95%+ PTFE monomer content for accurate classification under 3904.61.00
• Include detailed chemical composition data in entry documentation to avoid reclassification to copolymer subheadings
