## Key differences

## How to choose
- Is the product made of plastic (e.g., Tyvek®), not paper or fabric? → 3923.2X
- Does it have a leather-like or coated surface? → 4202.9X
- Is it made of solid wood? → 4420.90
- Is it woven from strands (reed, plastic, etc.)? → 4602
- Is it thin and paper-based (e.g., folded envelope)? → 4819.30/40
- Is it made of fabric (cotton, polyester)? → 6305/6307.90
## Overlaps & pitfalls
Tyvek® is synthetic but not textile—it’s a non-woven polyethylene, so it fits **3923.2X** best. It may look like paper or fabric but is neither. Avoid confusion with 4819 (paper) or 6305 (textile). If the product is plastic-based and non-textile, **3923.2X** takes priority
