Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If processed into finished broomheads
Complete brooms in 9603; primary monofilament shapes stay plastics Chapter 39.
If predominantly vinyl chloride comonomer
Note (a)(4) classifies by weight-predominant monomer if ethylene <95%.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit comonomer analysis proving ≥95% ethylene contribution as required by subheading note
• Ensure not cut to bristle length; finished brushes classify elsewhere in Chapter 39
• Check for plasticizer content if soft copolymer grades used
