Alternative Classifications

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

3912.20.00.00Lower: 40.2% vs 40.6%

If cellulose triacetate

Cellulose triacetates with higher substitution classified separately in 3912.20.

3912.31.00Lower: 31.4% vs 40.6%

If cellulose ethers instead of esters

Cellulose ether derivatives like carboxymethylcellulose use 3912.31 heading.

3501.90Lower: 16% vs 40.6%

If casein-derived rather than cellulose

Casein derivatives sometimes confused; proper chemical base determines chapter 35 vs 39.
