Vinyl Chloride-Vinyl Laurate Copolymer Flakes from Japan
Vinyl chloride-vinyl laurate copolymer flakes are a flake-form copolymer where vinyl chloride contributes 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 flakes are in primary form and fall under this tariff item.
