Zinc Methacrylate
Zinc methacrylate is the zinc salt of methacrylic acid, an unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid. It is used as a coagent in rubber vulcanization and in anti-corrosion coatings. Under Chapter 29, inorganic salts of organic acids are classified with the corresponding organic compound, so this falls under tariff item 2916.13.00.

More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product is the ester of methacrylic acid, not the salt
Esters of methacrylic acid are classified separately under esters of unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids.
If the product is a mixture or preparation not chemically defined
Mixtures not meeting the criteria for Chapter 29 may fall under chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the product is a pure salt of methacrylic acid, not a mixture or solution that could change classification
• Have the chemical formula and purity documentation ready for CBSA officers
• Check if the product qualifies for any free trade agreement preferential rates
