Alternative Classifications

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

3908Lower: 16.5% vs 41.5%

If higher imide content predominance

Imide monomer exceeds ether units; classified as polyimide-imide per weight rules.

3907Same rate: 41.5%

If polycarbonate copolymer

PC copolymers have dedicated subheading taking precedence over 'Other polyethers'.
