Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If vinyl versatate (other ester) predominant
Other vinyl esters separate from acetate subheadings.
If in primary sheet/plate/film form
Thicker primary shapes classify under 3910 regardless of polymer.
