The five products in question, designated as Dutral CO 034, CO 034 PL, CO 038, CO 038 PL & CO 038 EP, are ethylene/propylene copolymers, each containing more than 50% by weight of ethylene comonomer. All five products are elastomers, within the meaning of Chapter 39, Additional U.S. Note 1, HTSUS. You indicate that Dutral CO 034 PL and CO 038 PL will be imported in pellet form, while Dutral Co 034, CO 038 and CO 038 EP will be imported as large, irregular-shaped lumps or blocks, which are referred to as "compact bales" (CO 034 & CO 038) or "soft bales" (CO 038 EP). The applicable subheading for all five products will be 3901.90.1000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for polymers of ethylene, in primary forms: other: elastomeric.
