Products classified under HTS 2903.21.00.00
Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM)
Vinyl chloride monomer is a colorless gas at room temperature with the chemical formula CH2=CHCl, classified under HTS 2903.21.00.00 as an unsaturated chlorinated derivative of acyclic hydrocarbons. It serves as the primary raw material for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) production through polymerization processes.
Vinyl Chloride (Chloroethylene) 99.99% Pure
High-purity vinyl chloride (chloroethylene) at 99.99% is a separate chemically defined organic compound per Chapter 29 notes, specifically an unsaturated chlorinated acyclic hydrocarbon under HTS 2903.21.00.00. Used in specialty polymerization for high-grade PVC applications.
Stabilized Vinyl Chloride Monomer
Vinyl chloride monomer stabilized with inhibitors like methylhydroquinone to prevent premature polymerization during storage and transport, explicitly allowed under Chapter 29 note (f). Classified as HTS 2903.21.00.00 as the stabilizer is necessary for preservation.
Industrial Grade Vinyl Chloride Gas
Industrial vinyl chloride (chloroethylene) gas, chemically defined as C2H3Cl unsaturated chlorinated hydrocarbon, imported in pressurized cylinders under HTS 2903.21.00.00. Primary feedstock for rigid PVC pipes and vinyl flooring manufacturing.
Vinyl Chloride for PVC Suspension Polymerization
Specialty vinyl chloride monomer formulated for suspension polymerization processes, remaining a pure chemically defined compound under HTS 2903.21.00.00. Used to produce PVC resins for pipes, fittings, and profiles.
