Alternative Classifications

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

3903.11.00.00Higher: 41.5% vs 40.3%

If imported as polymer pellets, not formed sheets

Unformed PS resins classify in Chapter 39 primary forms, not plates/sheets.

3926.90.85Lower: 24% vs 40.3%

If thermoformed into custom inserts

Formed plastic packaging components become other articles in 3926.
