Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If polymers not predominantly ethylene (below 95%)
Subheading notes require 95% ethylene for 3916.10; blends go to 3916.90 based on predominant monomer.
If sold as complete 3D printing accessory set
Sets with multiple components classify in 3926 by essential character, not individual primary shapes.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Specify industrial vs consumer use; small retail sizes may trigger 3921 US note restrictions
• Avoid combining with nozzles/fittings, as 3917 free rate requires attached fittings
• Certify no chemical modification that would reclassify under 'Other' per subheading (a)(3)
