3920.10.00Same rate: 39.2%

If of polymers of ethylene, non-flexible

Non-flexible polyethylene sheets classify under 3920.10, separating cellular from flexible in Chapter 39.

3921.90.19Higher: 40.3% vs 39.2%

If over 0.35mm thick and semi-rigid

Thicker sheets tested as non-flexible go to 3921.90.19, the other rigid plates/sheets subheading.

3901.10.10Higher: 41.5% vs 39.2%

If imported as raw polyethylene resin pellets

Unprocessed polymers classify in 3901 as primary forms, not fabricated sheets of 3921.
