Ethyl Acrylate Monomer from Japan

Pure ethyl acrylate (CH2=CHCOOCH2CH3) is a colorless liquid unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid ester used primarily as a chemical intermediate in polymer production. It falls under HTS 2916.12.50.10 as a specific ester of acrylic acid, meeting Chapter 29 requirements for separate chemically defined organic compounds. Stabilizers may be added for safe transport without changing its classification.

Import Tips

Provide detailed chemical analysis (GC-MS, NMR) confirming 99%+ purity as ethyl acrylate to avoid reclassification as mixtures under Chapter 38

Include stabilizer certificates (e.g

hydroquinone <100 ppm) as Chapter 29 note (f) allows this for transport safety

Declare exact CAS number (140-88-5) and ensure UN1992 packaging compliance to prevent DOT delays
