Vinyl Versatate Copolymer Pellets from United States
Vinyl Versatate Copolymer Pellets are a copolymer of vinyl ester of versatic acid (branched C9-C11) and vinyl acetate, presented in primary pellet form. This product falls under tariff item 3905.99.00 as an 'Other' vinyl polymer in primary forms, since the vinyl ester monomer unit predominates by weight over vinyl acetate, and it is not specifically named in earlier subheadings. The pellets are used in weather-resistant coatings for exterior applications.

Import Tips
• Ensure the copolymer's monomer ratio is documented, as classification under 3905.99.00 depends on the vinyl ester predominating by weight over vinyl acetate
• Provide a technical data sheet or certificate of analysis to the CBSA upon request
• Note that if the product contains additives exceeding 1% by weight (e.g
• plasticizers or fillers), it may be considered a composition, but this does not change the tariff item
