Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If vinylidene chloride copolymers
Specific copolymer subheadings take precedence if >95% monomers.
If metallized or printed for retail
Surface treatments like metallizing classify as combined materials.
If paper coated with cellulose plastic
If paper-supported, moves to paper/plastic composites in Chapter 48.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide derivative specification sheets showing butyrate content
• Check for plasticizer levels per 3920.43 note
• Pitfall: metallic appearance leads to incorrect metal foil (76xx) claims
