Alternative Classifications

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

3909.40.00Higher: 41.5% vs 41.3%

If phenolic resin content predominates

Per note (a)(4), phenolic monomers over polyurethane by weight go to phenolic subheading.

3906.90.50Lower: 29.2% vs 41.3%

If acrylic copolymer blend

Acrylic units predominant classify under acrylic polymers, not polyurethanes.

3921.90Lower: 14.8% vs 41.3%

If pre-expanded into rigid foam blocks

Cellular or rigid foam forms shift from primary polymers to other plastic articles.
