Alternative Classifications

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

3909.10.00Higher: 41.5% vs 41.3%

If urea-formaldehyde resin characteristics dominate

Subheading note prioritizes predominant monomer; urea units over 50% shift to amino-resins.

3911.90Lower: 16.5% vs 41.3%

If petroleum-based copolymer predominates

If non-polyurethane monomers exceed by weight, classifies under petroleum polymers per note (a)(4).

3921.13Lower: 14.2% vs 41.3%

If imported as cellular foam sheets

Primary form resins exclude cellular/plates; foamed products go to 3921 cellular plastics.
