Alternative Classifications

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

3920.51Lower: 16.5% vs 35%

If extruded into rigid PMMA-type sheets

Of polymers of specific heading 3906 (PMMA), not polyurethane.

3909.50.50.00Higher: 41.3% vs 35%

If transparent rigid polyurethane

Non-elastomeric clear PU sheets go to 'Other'.
