What determines the tariff number?
- Plastic polymer type. Lanyards made from polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, or acrylic polymers are classified differently. The base plastic material is the primary classification factor.
- Reinforcement and lamination. If the lanyard is reinforced or laminated with other materials, the tariff number changes significantly. Reinforced bands fall into different categories than plain, unreinforced plastic strips.
- Foamed plastic processing. Lanyards made from foamed plastics (cellular plastics) are classified separately from solid sheets. The type of foam – whether styrene, vinyl chloride, or polyurethane – directly affects the tariff number.
