Alternative Classifications

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

3906.90.50.00Lower: 29.2% vs 35%

If imported in bulk as unmodified acrylic polymer pellets before sheeting

Unprocessed polymers classify in Chapter 39 headings 3901-3914, not finished sheets.

3920.59Same rate: 35%

If flexible sheeting rather than rigid plates

Flexibility determines sub-subheading within 'other' acrylic sheets.

8716.90.50Higher: 53.1% vs 35%

If mounted in vehicle radiation shielding assemblies

Parts of trailers or vehicles supersede material classification.
