Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 38.8%

If stabilizer >2% or anti-dusting/coloring agents added

Excess additives per note (g) may render it a preparation of Chapter 38 rather than pure Chapter 29 compound

2905.29Lower: 13.7% vs 38.8%

If misdeclared as vinyl alcohol derivative

Vinyl acetate is specifically an acetic acid ester under 2915; alcoholates classified differently per note 5(D)
