Alternative Classifications

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

3901.10.50Higher: 41.5% vs 40.3%

If vinyl acetate under 5% by weight

Low VA content classifies as polyethylene under 3901.10 per predominant monomer rule in note (a)(4).

3920.43Lower: 14.2% vs 40.3%

If containing plasticizers exceeding standard levels

Subheading 3920.43 covers noncellular plates/sheets of polymers with plasticizers, per US note on plasticizers.

3907.99Lower: 16.5% vs 40.3%

If copolymerized with significant other monomers

Polymers not predominantly ethylene-VA move to 'Other' polyesters or general polymers.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include technical data sheets showing exact ethylene/vinyl acetate ratios; importers often face audits without this

Ensure pellets are in primary form without additives exceeding classification thresholds

Label shipments clearly as 'EVA Copolymer - Primary Form' to aid CBP review
