Poly(vinyl acetate) Emulsion from China

Poly(vinyl acetate) Emulsion is a water-based emulsion of poly(vinyl acetate) homopolymer, with at least 95% vinyl acetate monomer units by weight. It is used primarily as a binder in adhesives and paints. Although it is a poly(vinyl acetate) in primary form, because it is an aqueous dispersion, it is excluded from tariff item 3905.19.00 and falls under a more specific tariff item for dispersions.

Import Tips

• Do not classify PVAc emulsion under 3905.19.00; it belongs under 3905.21.00 for aqueous dispersions

• Ensure the emulsion is stable and clearly labeled as a dispersion for customs purposes

• Keep records of the vinyl acetate content and any additives to support classification
