Non-Plasticized Cellulose Acetate Flakes
Flakes of cellulose acetate produced by esterification of cellulose with acetic anhydride, containing less than 95% monomer units by weight and non-plasticized. Classified under HTS 3912.11.00.00 as non-plasticized cellulose acetates in primary forms, not further processed into plastics or articles.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If plasticizers present
Plasticized cellulose acetates fall under 3912.12 as they contain added plasticizers per subheading note for 3920.43.
If different cellulose derivative like cellulose nitrate
Other cellulose derivatives not acetates classified in 3912.39, based on chemical derivative type.
If chemically modified beyond acetate
Modified cellulose polymers not meeting acetate criteria go to 'Other' in 3911.90 per subheading note (a)(3).

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify acetylation degree via lab analysis to confirm non-plasticized status and 95% monomer contribution per subheading note (a)(1)
• Provide manufacturer's certificate specifying no plasticizers added to avoid reclassification to plasticized subheadings
