Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

3402.90Lower: 13.7% vs 29.2%

If formulated into surface-active preparations

Organic surface-active agents in Chapter 34 supersede primary polymer classification.

3907.30.00Higher: 41.1% vs 29.2%

If epoxy-modified acrylics

Chemical modification places in 'other' epoxide resins per note (a)(3).

3913.90.10Higher: 35% vs 29.2%

If extruded into primary forms > finished polymer

Natural resin modifications or specific forms move to heading 3913.

Import Tips & Compliance

โ€ข Include solubility test data and pH specs in entry documentation for polymer identification

โ€ข Ensure flakes remain uncompounded; adding surfactants risks Chapter 34 classification

โ€ข CBP often examines for finished cleaner content; maintain clear primary form segregation
