Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If designed for general electronic components not specific to wafers/masks
Broader category for plastic packing articles not specially fitted for semiconductor wafers or reticles.
If sold as generic plastic trays without semiconductor-specific design
Other plastic articles if lacking the precise shaping for wafer conveyance.
If made primarily of paperboard rather than plastics
Similar packing containers shift to Chapter 48 when plastic content is not predominant.
