Import Tips
• Ensure the PVDC is in primary forms (powder, granules, or pellets) and not further processed into films
• Provide the monomer composition to confirm vinylidene chloride predominance
• Be aware that PVDC resins may also be classified under more specific subheadings if they are not elastomeric
