Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If PVC-based with fluoro additives <5%
Predominant PVC monomer dictates PVC subheading.
If as color concentrate masterbatch
Concentrates with additives >2% classify as preparations.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Chlorine content declaration critical for halogenated classification
• Avoid retail packaging; industrial bulk only for primary form status
