Vectra E130i LCP Resin

Vectra E130i is a thermoplastic liquid crystal polymer (LCP) copolymer resin composed of aromatic polyester units, supplied in pellet form for injection molding. It falls under HTS 3907.99.2000 because it meets the criteria for thermoplastic liquid crystal aromatic polyester copolymers with over 95% of the specified monomer units by weight. This high-performance material is prized for its exceptional strength and thermal stability in precision components.

Alternative Classifications

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

3907.99Same rate: 35%

If not exhibiting liquid crystal properties

Standard aromatic polyesters without thermoplastic liquid crystal characteristics fall under the broader 'Other' subheading for non-LCP polyesters.

3901.30Lower: 15.3% vs 35%

If ethylene monomer predominates over polyester units

Per subheading note (a)(4), classification shifts to polymers where ethylene units exceed other comonomers by weight, moving to Chapter 39 ethylene polymers.

3908.90Lower: 16.5% vs 35%

If for chemically modified versions not covered specifically

Subheading note (a)(3) directs chemically modified LCP copolymers without specific coverage to 'Other' polyamide/polyamide copolymer subheading if applicable.
