Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If copolymer with less than 95% phenolic monomers
Polymers not meeting 95% phenolic content classified by predominant monomer in 'Other' plastics.
If reinforced with glass fibers
Reinforced or laminated phenolic sheets move to Chapter 39 heading for cellular or reinforced plates.
If imported as finished electrical insulators
End-use as insulation articles classified in Chapter 85, not as plastic sheets.
