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 pre-polymerized or in acrylic polymer emulsions
Polymer forms of acrylic esters move to Chapter 39 as acrylic polymers rather than monomers.
If supplied with organic composite solvents for specific industrial application
Solvent mixtures render it a chemical preparation under 3814, not a pure Chapter 29 compound.
If misidentified as peroxyacid derivative
Peroxides/peroxyacids of acrylic acid have different oxygen functions classified later in Chapter 29.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) specifying inhibitor content (e.g
• hydroquinone) to prevent polymerization during transport
• Verify REACH/ TSCA compliance for chemical registration before import
