Ethyl Acrylate Monomer from Mexico
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
