Import Tips
• Confirm that the vinyl acetate monomer units contribute 95% or more by weight of the total polymer content to avoid classification as a copolymer in a different subheading
• Provide a certificate of analysis showing the polymer composition and solids content
• If the product contains acrylic comonomers above 5%, it may need reclassification under a different heading
