This copolymer (e.g., PVDF-HFP) combines vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene for flexible membranes in batteries. HTS 3904.90.5000 covers it as 'Other' halogenated olefin polymer in primary form, as comonomers don't meet 95% named copolymer criteria.

• Certify non-household use to avoid 3924 misclassification; include end-use declarations
