Elvax 260 Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate Copolymer Resin

Elvax 260 is an ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer resin with approximately 28% vinyl acetate content, supplied in pellet form as a primary plastic material. It falls under HTS 3901.30.60.00 as an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer where the comonomer units contribute 95% or more by weight of the total polymer content, classified as 'Other' within the series. This thermoplastic is widely used in adhesives, sealants, and flexible films.

Alternative Classifications

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

3901.10.10Higher: 41.5% vs 40.3%

If vinyl acetate content below 95% by weight

Classified by predominant ethylene monomer unit under subheading note (a)(4), moving to polyethylene heading.

3901.90.90Lower: 31.5% vs 40.3%

If chemically modified or blended with other polymers

Chemically modified EVA copolymers go to 'Other' in 3901.90 per subheading note (a)(3), not specific copolymer subheadings.

3506.91Lower: 12.1% vs 40.3%

If further processed into adhesives as primary use

Prepared adhesives based on EVA may shift to Chapter 35 if formulated beyond primary polymer form.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify certificate of analysis confirming vinyl acetate content meets 95% comonomer threshold per subheading note (a)(2) to avoid reclassification

Provide detailed monomer composition data in entry documentation; common pitfall is insufficient specs leading to 'predominant monomer' scrutiny

Check for chemical modifications, which shift to 'Other' subheadings if not specifically covered
