High VA Content Copolymer Pellets for Adhesives from Japan
High vinyl acetate content copolymer pellets with 92% vinyl acetate and minor acrylates, used for packaging adhesives. Although the vinyl acetate content is high, it does not reach 95%, so the product is not classified as pure poly(vinyl acetate) and falls under 'Other' vinyl acetate copolymers. The presence of acrylate comonomers makes it a copolymer rather than a homopolymer.

Import Tips
• Document the exact copolymer composition, including the percentage of acrylate comonomers, to support classification under 3905.29.00
• Ensure the product is in primary form (pellets) and not mixed with additives that could change classification
• Consult the CBSA tariff classification advice service for binding rulings on borderline compositions
