Sasol EVA 1085 AN
Sasol EVA 1085 AN is an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer containing slip agents, supplied in pellet form. It is used in film and packaging applications. The slip agents are additives, but the polymer itself is an EVA copolymer with a VA content that meets the 95% threshold, so it is classified under tariff item 3901.30.00.

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 slip agents cause the polymer to be considered a blend or if VA is below 95%
Additives do not change the polymer classification, but if the slip agent is a polymer itself, it could affect the predominance rule.
If the slip agent is imported separately as a masterbatch
A masterbatch of slip agents in a carrier resin could be classified under chemical products, not as an EVA copolymer.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Slip agents are considered additives; if they exceed 1% by weight, the material may be a 'composition' under supplementary note 2, but this does not change the subheading
• Ensure the slip agent is listed on the safety data sheet and the VA content is documented
• If the slip agent is a separate masterbatch, it may be classified separately
