Alternative Classifications

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

3917.21.00Same rate: 38.1%

If flexible and made of polymers of ethylene (high-density PE)

Specific subheading for ethylene polymers if meeting flexibility criteria, separate from general 'other'.

3917.31.00Same rate: 38.1%

If specifically flexible PVC tubing

PVC versions go to dedicated PVC subheading; PE falls under 'other unreinforced'.
