Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If copolymer with predominant vinyl chloride units
Copolymer classification follows predominant monomer under polymer note (a)(4)
If in sheet form for manual sausage stuffing
Other plastic plates/films separate from tubular hoses/fittings
If petroleum-derived cellulosic additives, not pure polymer
Petroleum resins differ from cellulosic plastics in heading 3911
