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.

• 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
