Halogenated EVA Copolymer from Japan
Halogenated EVA copolymer, specifically chlorinated ethylene-vinyl acetate, is a polymer in primary form used in adhesive formulations. It is classified under tariff item 3904.90.00 as 'Other' because the copolymer contains halogenated olefin units, but the vinyl acetate comonomer prevents classification under the ethylene polymer headings.

Import Tips
• Determine the weight percentage of each monomer (ethylene, vinyl acetate, and chlorine) to ensure the halogenated olefin units predominate for classification under 3904.90.00
• If vinyl acetate predominates, the product may fall under heading 3905 instead
• Provide a technical datasheet to the CBSA showing the copolymer composition and that it is in primary form
