Analysis

HTS 3911.90.35 covers 1,1'-Bis(methylenedi-4,1-phenylene)- 1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione, copolymer with 4,4'-methylenebis(benzeneamine); and Hydrocarbon novolac cyanate ester under heading 3911 (petroleum resins, coumarone-indene resins, polyterpenes, polysulfides, polysulfones and…).

Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 6.5%. The costliest confusion would be with 3911.90.91 (other: other) at 6.5%, a difference of 6.5 points on the customs value.
