Alternative Classifications

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

3907Same rate: 41.5%

If complex epoxy resin copolymer

Epoxide resins have prior specific subheading in hierarchy; takes precedence over 'Other'.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 41.5%

If mixture with <95% single polymer

Prepared binders with mixed polymers fall outside pure Chapter 39 polymer headings.

3905Lower: 15.3% vs 41.5%

If for polyvinyl acetate blends

Note (b) directs blends to predominant monomer subheading if no 'Other' category.

Import Tips & Compliance

Test for hydroxyl value and molecular weight to prove polymeric status vs monomeric diols

Document as 'reactive intermediate' for manufacturing to prevent end-use misclassification

Ensure no fittings attached if in tube form; otherwise 3917 free rate applies per US note
