Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If threaded or with special profile for industrial conveyance
Threaded tubes fall outside simple artificial guts into other tubes subheading
If cut to fixed lengths as retail food packaging sacks
Sacks/bags for goods conveyance separate from continuous hose forms
If imported in primary pellet form for casing extrusion
Primary polymers (not shaped) classify under 3903, not fabricated articles
