Alternative Classifications

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

5402.47Lower: 18% vs 41.5%

If imported as fully drawn polyester filament yarn

Once extruded into synthetic filament yarn, it leaves primary polymers (39.07) for man-made filaments (Chapter 54).

3907.99Lower: 16.5% vs 41.5%

If classified as other polyesters not PET-dominant

Polyesters where PET monomers do not predominate fall under the broader 'other polyesters' subheading.

3905Lower: 15.3% vs 41.5%

If polyvinyl acetate content predominates

Vinyl acetate-based polymers classify under 3905 per predominant monomer rule in subheading note (a)(4).
