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 EVA is part of a formulated hot melt adhesive with other ingredients
Prepared adhesives are classified in heading 35.06, not as primary polymers.
If the VA content is below 95% and other comonomers are present
If the polymer does not meet the 95% threshold for EVA, it may fall under 'Other' polymers of ethylene.

Import Tips & Compliance
• For hot melt adhesive applications, confirm the VA content is above 95% to avoid reclassification
• If the pellets are mixed with tackifiers or waxes, the mixture may be classified as a preparation of heading 35.06, not as a polymer
• Keep the formulation details ready for CBSA review
