Vinyl Chloride-Maleic Anhydride Copolymer Powder from Japan
Vinyl chloride-maleic anhydride copolymer powder is a fine powder where vinyl chloride units contribute more than 95% by weight. Under subheading note 1(a)(1), the prefix 'poly' for the named polymer requires 95% or more of the monomer units, but this is a copolymer, so it is classified under the subheading for other copolymers. The powder is in primary form and falls under this tariff item.
