Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If high polyester content
Polyester units predominant shift to polyesters under 3907.
If polyethylene copolymer
PE monomer over 95% or predominant goes to polyethylene subheadings.
If compounded with additives over principal weight
Masterbatched pellets with heavy fillers become other plastic articles.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Use melt flow index and DSC analysis to prove thermoplastic polyurethane composition
• Package in moisture-proof bags; declare as 'resin pellets' to avoid parts classification
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain Asian TPU origins
