Acrylic Latex Wall Paint
A water-based acrylic latex paint designed for interior and exterior walls, dispersed in an aqueous medium with acrylic polymers as the primary binder. It falls under HTS 3209.10.00.00 because it is a paint based on acrylic polymers dissolved or dispersed in water, used for surface coloring and protection. This classification excludes oil-based or solvent-based alternatives.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If solvent content exceeds 50% by weight
Solvent-based acrylic paints shift to heading 3208, as it covers synthetic polymer solutions in organic solvents.
If sold as a set with brushes or rollers for retail
Paints put up in sets for retail sale with painting accessories classify under 3210, not individual paints.
If based on other synthetic polymers like polyurethane
Non-acrylic/vinyl polymer bases, such as polyurethanes, fall under the residual 3209.90 for aqueous medium paints.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify VOC content and ensure labeling complies with EPA regulations for architectural coatings
• Provide certificates of analysis confirming acrylic/vinyl polymer base and aqueous dispersion (over 50% water)
• Avoid misclassification as artist paints; specify end-use as architectural to prevent higher duties
