Elvax 260 Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate Copolymer Resin from China

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.

Import Tips

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
