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 ethylene content exceeds the vinyl chloride content by weight
Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers are classified under heading 39.01 when ethylene is the predominant monomer.
If the vinyl acetate content exceeds the vinyl chloride content
Vinyl acetate copolymers in aqueous dispersion fall under heading 39.05 when vinyl acetate is the predominant comonomer.
If the product is formulated with additives exceeding 1% by weight
Prepared binders or formulated dispersions may be classified as chemical products when they contain significant non-polymeric additives.
