Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If primarily polyethylene rather than propylene
Polymers classified by predominant monomer unit; polyethylene dominates if over 50% by weight per subheading note (a)(4).
If flexible and cut to specific non-rectangular shapes for retail sale
Flexible plastic sheets cut to shape or pattern for direct consumer use shift to Chapter 39 heading 3921 for other forms.
If copolymers with other monomers exceeding 5% or chemically modified
Fails 95% propylene threshold; classified under 'Other' plastics by predominant monomer per subheading note (a)(3)-(4).

Import Tips & Compliance
β’ Verify polymer composition via lab testing to confirm 95%+ propylene content per subheading notes to avoid reclassification
β’ Provide detailed certificates of analysis showing noncellular structure and lack of reinforcements for CBP review
