Functionalized Vinyl Chloride Copolymer Beads from Japan
Functionalized vinyl chloride copolymer beads are chemically modified polymers where the main polymer chain remains predominantly vinyl chloride. The functional groups are appendages changed by chemical reaction, so they are classified as the unmodified polymer under Chapter 39 Note 5. They are in primary form (beads) and fall under this tariff item as other vinyl chloride copolymers.

Import Tips
• Ensure the beads are in primary form (e.g
• beads, granules) and that the chemical modification does not alter the polymer's classification
• Have technical documentation ready to show the vinyl chloride content and the nature of the functional groups
• Verify whether the product contains any additives that might change its tariff classification
