Ethyl Acrylate-Methyl Methacrylate Copolymer Powder
Fine powder copolymer of ethyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate used in adhesives and sealants. The acrylic comonomer units together contribute 95% or more by weight, and neither monomer predominates alone, so it is classified as an 'other' acrylic polymer. It is supplied in primary form as a powder.

More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If methyl methacrylate alone contributes 95% or more by weight of the polymer
The specific PMMA subheading would apply per subheading note 1(a)(1).
If the powder is formulated as a ready-to-use adhesive with other ingredients
Prepared adhesives are classified in Chapter 35, not as primary polymers.
If ethylene or propylene monomers predominate by weight over the acrylic monomers
The polymer would then be classified under polyolefins in heading 39.01.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document the monomer weight ratio to show that the combined acrylic monomers meet the 95% threshold
• Ensure the powder is not compounded with additives exceeding 1% by weight, which could reclassify it as a composition
• Check if the product is used in food-contact applications, which may require additional documentation from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency
Related Products under Tariff item 3906.90.00
Acrylic Copolymer Beads for Coatings
Solid beads of acrylic copolymers designed for water-based paints and industrial coatings, meeting the 95% acrylic monomer threshold. They are classified under this tariff item as acrylic polymers in primary forms.
Acrylic Copolymer Beads for Paint
Solid acrylic copolymer beads used as the base resin in water-based paints and coatings, supplied in primary form. The copolymer's comonomer units contribute 95% or more by weight, qualifying it as an acrylic polymer under heading 39.06. It is not specifically named in another subheading, so it falls under the 'Other' tariff item.
Acrylic Elastomeric Polymer Resin
An acrylic elastomeric polymer resin in primary form, exhibiting rubber-like elasticity and recovery. It is classified under this tariff item as an acrylic polymer in primary forms, not elsewhere specified.
Acrylic Impact Modifier Pellets MBAM
Methyl methacrylate-butadiene-acrylate-methyl methacrylate (MBAM) copolymer pellets used to toughen PVC. The acrylic monomers (methyl methacrylate and acrylate) predominate by weight over the butadiene, so the polymer is classified as an acrylic polymer. It is not a named copolymer in subheading 3906.10, so it falls under the 'Other' tariff item.
Acrylic Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive Polymer Emulsion Solids
Dried polymer solids recovered from acrylic emulsion for pressure-sensitive adhesives, supplied as spray-dried powder, with over 95% acrylic polymer content. It falls under this tariff item as an acrylic polymer in primary forms.
Acrylonitrile Elastomeric Copolymer
An elastomeric copolymer of acrylonitrile and butyl acrylate in bale form, with 95% total acrylic content. It falls under this tariff item as an acrylic polymer in primary forms, not specifically named elsewhere.
