Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

3917.10.10.00Higher: 41.5% vs 35%

If substituted with cellulose-based casings

Explicit subheading for cellulosic plastics takes precedence in the artificial guts hierarchy.

3923.21.00Higher: 38% vs 35%

If rigid and used as non-flexible tubing

Rigid tubes of polymers of vinyl chloride fall under extruded plastic products, not flexible protein casings.

1902.30.00Higher: 41.4% vs 35%

If when stuffed with stuffing and sold as ready pasta

Stuffed pasta casings resemble food preparations, shifting from plastic tubes to edible goods.
