Alternative Classifications

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

3908.90Same rate: 35%

If other polyamide copolymers not specifically named

Only exactly matching named copolymers go to 3908.90.20; variants with different monomer ratios fall to 'Other' polyamides.

3907.99Lower: 16.5% vs 35%

If supplied as masterbatch with additives >5%

Subheading note (a)(3) directs chemically modified or additive-filled polymers to 'Other'; masterbatches often exceed pure polymer thresholds.
