Explore global trade with HS codes

HS Code 3901 covers polyethylene and ethylene copolymers in primary forms. The classification distinguishes between low-density polyethylene (3901.10), linear low-density polyethylene (3901.40), high-density polyethylene (3901.20), and ethylene copolymers (3901.30-3901.90). This fundamental category provides the raw material inputs for numerous plastic products across virtually all industrial sectors. Products are typically traded as pellets, powders, or granules for further processing through extrusion, injection molding, or other conversion methods. Technical specifications focus on density, melt flow index, and additive packages. This division represents the beginning of the value chain for polyethylene products, which appear in finished form under various other HS codes throughout Chapter 39.
